Histoire
It's a race against the clock in this tale of danger and intrigue. In the glitzy era of the 1920s, charming armature sleuths, Tommy and Tuppence set out to solve the mysterious disappearance of a client and unravel a mysterious plot involving blackmail, international intrigue, and perhaps even the sinking of the Lusitania. When labor unrest erupts in England, the situation could turn deadly if a state secret falls into the wrong hands, but Tuppence has no qualms in accepting a job offer to stop that from happening.
Description
Baghdad is holding a secret superpower summit, but the word is out, and an underground organization in the Middle East is plotting to sabotage the talks.
Into this explosive situation appears Victoria Jones, a young woman with a yearning for adventure who gets more than she bargains for when a wounded spy dies in her hotel room.
The only man who can save the summit is dead. Can Victoria make sense of his dying words? "Lucifer...Basrah...Lefarge."

Great until it wasn't
Is there anything you would change about this book?
The audible narration stopped at Chapter 22. Unfortunately, the book continued through Chapter 25. Emilia Fox was a wonderful reader. She's a very fine actress and it comes through as she reads. Thoroughly enjoyable and engrossing. I only wish it had continued through the end of the novel.
What did you like best about this story?
The story was original and unexpected. Agatha Christie created a memorable heroine. Similar to her early writing with Tommy and Tuppence but more developed. As a fan, I expected to be intrigued and she did not fail me.
I was surprised by who the villain turned out to be.
What about Emilia Fox’s performance did you like?
Her characterizations gave life to the words on the page. I could imagine the scene and scenary from England to Egypt and Iraq.
Do you think They Came to Baghdad needs a follow-up book? Why or why not?
I would have liked to have read more stories with Victoria Jones as the lead character but this story certainly stands on its own.
Any additional comments?
I can't wait to read and hear more Agatha Christie books --- as long as they are complete!

Disappointed
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
No
Has They Came to Baghdad turned you off from other books in this genre?
No
Any additional comments?
This book was not finished. If Final Destination was end like this book, it would have ended when Hilary arrived at the leper colony.

Keeps Your Interest
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I've read this book several times and now I've listened to this audible version. It may be one of my favorites because we get to see a great description of life in the Middle East through Agatha Christie's eyes.
.
What does Emilia Fox bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
She brings the characters to life and gives them personality. She also adds the element of surprise and suspense that carries you along and keeps your interest.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
All my bags are packed, I'm ready to go...
Any additional comments?
I would like to see this made into a movie.

Problem with the recording
What did you love best about They Came to Baghdad?
One of agatha Christie's best....but the audible version is missing the last three chapters! Luckily I got the kindle version at the same time and was able to read the end or I would have been pretty frustrated leaving the heroine just as she was in the greatest peril!
What three words best describe Emilia Fox’s voice?
Good old English voice. Nice that its recognized a woman can read men's voices just as men can read women's. she does a great job.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
It was fun...a little old fashioned in a sense, but still bringing the sights and sounds and a time gone by....the characters were very visible...

Christie fails to deliver
This book wasn’t for you, but who do you think might enjoy it more?
I have read almost 70 of Agatha Christie's works, and this is by far, one of her worst ever!
What was most disappointing about Agatha Christie’s story?
The book is not finished. Christie just quits in the middle of the action!
What does Emilia Fox bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?
I love Emilia Fox's voice. She is a great narrator, and it is only her narration that made the book durable.
If you could play editor, what scene or scenes would you have cut from They Came to Baghdad?
I would not cut any! I would just finish it.
Any additional comments?
This would be a good book if the book had been completed.
