    <body><![CDATA[This book is a muddle from the start.  Christie awkwardly introduces the book's narrator, then sets the story in a very dry, plodding manner.  The result is a bunch of faceless characters wandering about.<br/><br/>It's obvious which of these characters is murdered from the very start, and the actu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/1618404">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[I have started to enjoy reading mysteries, and especially enjoy a good Agatha Christie nove.  This book was a good read.  The story was interesting and engaging.  Even though I had a suspicion who it could be, I didn't know why or how. Some of the characters are likeable, but she is very good about ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/45560720">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[This book was great!  And I finally correctly predicted who the killer was!  I thought of the most absurd, came outta left-field type of answer and sure enough I was right!  I've figured you out lady!  I love Hercule Poirot, he's such a great character.

    <body><![CDATA[Absolutely amazing book... Agatha Christie takes the archaeologists from the 1930's in Iraq and turns them into murder-mystery characters (in thinly constructed characterizations).  The plot runs like any Agatha Christie novel, but the story is incredibly entertaining if you know the historical figu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/46218272">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Murder in Mesopotamia, Murder on the Nile, Murder on the Orient Express, They Came to Baghdad, and the Autobiography of Agatha Christie, are probably responsible for my love of travel and my lifelong interest in Archaeology and Egyptology.

    <body><![CDATA[The set-up about the dark past behind the main characters was extremely fascinating and kept you rooted and waiting for more. The ending was perhaps not quite as well done as some of Christie's other novels, and overall the novel didn't have the fast-pacing as others, but it was still a decent read ...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/59702160">more...</a>]]></body>
