They Came to Baghdad
Ok, the book started and there were a LOT of characters and a bunch of their names started with the same letter* and I was annoyed. But they were likeable and mysterious so I persisted and I am so glad of it because the middle 3/5 of the book was fast-paced adventure in a thin candy shell***. The last fifth might have made me shriek out loud at the reveal, but that would have been undignified so can't possibly have actually happened.MINOR SPOILER FOR CHARACTER MOMENT OF AWESOME
with high heels? and pita bread? OH YES SHE DID.
SPOILER ENDS
*This would probably not bother a person who doesn't share with me the character** flaw of reading the whole word at a time so quickly as to pronounce unrecognized names like a Victorian novel, ie, M---- or R---. Self realization came the first time I heard Potterverse's Professor McGonagall's name pronounced out loud and I won't even talk about Hermione.
**Get it?!?!?
***In Agatha Christie's time I am fairly certain that the British peerage did not admit to adventure.
