Partially due to the studying I have been doing for my grad work and partially due to a busy schedule I have not finished a book this year... so I set about to remedy that and read Murder in Mesopotamia by Agatha Christie... I had already seen the David Suchet movie, so I knew the outcome going into it, but I still really enjoyed it... here is a summary from the back cover... Dame Agatha shows herself to be a genius of the human personality again as Hercule Poirot looks into the hearts and motives of everyone involved...
"At the request of archaeologist Dr. Eric Leidener, Amy Leatheren has accepted a position as companion to his wife, Louise, a woman prone to 'nervous terrors' - and in need of a confidant. She's found one in Amy. But what is the young nurse to make of Mrs. Leidner's bizarre stories of her first husband, a dead German spy, who has returned in a rage to destroy her new marriage? Stories that everyone attributes to a vivid - and disturbed - imagination? Yet it's more than a flight of fancy that bludgeons poor Mrs. Leidner to death. And it's going to take the brilliant imagination of of Hercule Poirot to unravel the strange facts in a dead woman's fantasy."
