lasbrumas 's review for:

They Came to Baghdad by Agatha Christie
adventurous mysterious tense fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: A mix
Strong character development: Complicated
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: Complicated
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

Disclaimer: This book does contain period typical racism and Orientalism toward people from the Middle East. Just be warned if that's upsetting to you.

I really enjoyed this book. If I could, I might rate it 4.5. I loved the spy plot and how the heroine gets sucked into all that. I do have to say, it's interesting to see the Red Scare and all that play out in a novel that was actually written during that time. While the plot would seem farfetched now, seemed in line with what people actually thought was happening then.
