Agatha Christie herself was Dame Agatha because she was given a knighthood. “Dame” is the female equivalent of “Sir” for men. However, she was also Lady Mallowan as her husband was himself given a knighthood, making him Sir Max Mallowan. A male knight’s wife has the courtesy title of “Lady” plus his last name, but a female knight’s husband does not have a comparable title.

What a fabulous reading. This book has so many interest incidentals that say a lot about Iraq and that area and the different world we lived in at that time. Dictatorship, invasion, destruction, ISIS and a completely changed environment there now. It's also almost the story of how Dame Agatha Christie met her archaeological husband, max mallowan though in much less dramatic circumstances! He was working on a dig when she came out to visit. He showed her around the sites and, as they say, they fell in love and really did live happily ever after. Thank you for what you do. Quality!

Wonderful narration.

[@monicamiranda3161]

I was born some years after she published this book. I have become a cross of Anna Scheele and Florence Nightingale. How is that? And I read the autobiography of Agatha Christie and gave the book to a friend. I came to know things. This book is not fiction and the stained glass with those plans was put in in London School of Economics and inaugurated by Tony Blair. I am a Roman Catholic and I don't want those people destroying everything to build a new world in the East. A world around the Himmalays? Agatha Christie knew a lot, didn't she. But according to her any barber in London knows more than the High Command. So in the Eastern World they know everything about those plans.

[@roseariannamcgowan1302]

You are correct. Agatha Christie’s ‘stories’ were deeply influenced by her work in Intelligence. Much of what she wrote is truth hidden in ‘entertainment.’ So much evil, these parasites

Agatha Christie is not LADY Agatha Christie. To have such a title she would have to have been born the daughter of a high-ranking British lord, which she was not. However, she is DAME Agatha Christie, an honorary title conferred on her by the monarch in recognition of her great contribution to literature.

hi everyone

[@emilywong4601]

I heard that Agatha Christie was involved in this type of secret service situation.

[@susantunbridge4612]

I don't think so. She didn't write anything that appeared to be inside info. Whatever she did have would probably be as a result of just knowing higher level people. This is a good Agatha, but I suspect her of poaching the Fakir Carmichael character from John Buchan's "Greenmantle", the character of Sandy Arbuthnot, Scotsman who could pass for any kind of ME tribesman and was a master of disguise. Excellent book, and all about spying in WW1. Buchan's book inspired a lot of people - probably LOTR as well, from the looks of it. Going into Mordor, etc. However, Helen MacInnes wrote spy and espionage novels, and she was definitely suspected of having inside info, since her husband was a "diplomat". She actually saw the inside of WW2 Germany. Better at it than Agatha Christie, at least in terms of the wheels within wheels, and she really predicted a lot of what's happened in the US.
