The travels of Mary Loosemore

Author: Agatha Christie

They Came to Baghdad – Agatha Christie

My first Christie – and it was a real page turner: a chance meeting with a handsome chap leads Victoria Jones, mediocre shorthand typist with a very active imagination, to adventures galore in 1940s (1950s?) Baghdad involving spies, doppelgängers and archaeologists. Truly another world.

About Me

Born and brought up in Solihull, I studied at St Andrews and in Chester before moving to live and work in London. In 2020 I relocated to Herefordshire.

I’ve done a variety of jobs in the legal sector, focusing on the knowledge management and technology side of things since 2000. You’ll find details on LinkedIn.

SparklyTrainers is about my world outside work. As you’ll see, I love to travel, take photos and read.

My email is [my firstname] @ [my surname].com
