Murder in Mesopotamia, Agatha Christie

Unpopular opinion, but this is one of my favourite Christie books!


Up there with the 4.50 From Paddington (a favourite in my current re-read sprint, which is unexpected because I am usually Poirot-aligned!). The archaeological dig/setting element stole my heart, here. I did guess whodunnit, but that didn't detract from my enjoyment one bit.


According to the ending, Poirot takes the Orient Express home. Murder on the Orient Express was written two years prior in 1934, but it's lovely to see a bit of Christie lore in terms of Poirot's timeline.


You know what I'm reading next!

Thank you for reading!

I also occasionally write on Substack (although less so of late). There are, however, a few nice little cultural pieces over there if you're interested. At the moment, I'm posting most regularly on my Instagram (@victoria.j.randle).

My most recent release is Seven Bodies with Bloodhound Books, a locked-room mystery thriller...
