They came to Baghdad by Agatha Christie

There are few idols cherished during school, that manage to retain its pedestal under the scrutiny that growing up provides it with.

The previous books in the series are as follows, click on the cover to follow through to the review     Before I gush about the book I need to admit to two things; one is that I did not just start and finish this today(it is a big book), I had left it 3/4 th…

Poisonfeather (Gibson Vaughn, #2) by Matthew FitzSimmons

I had been ignoring this suggestion on my kindle for a while now, assuming it was not something that I would enjoy. Then on a research expedition to GoodReads, I was surprised to see that I had read the first of this series and given it four stars!I then proceeded to download the audiobook. Once…
