This book is a bit different from other Agatha Christie novel, and its my personal favorite book. In here, it is more like a spy mystery book rather than murder mystery.
Synopsis:
A secret meeting is being held in Baghdad, Iraq. The news was spread, and a secret organization was planning to sabotaged the meeting. Nobody knew what that organization is capable to do....
But came the unxpected. Victoria Jones, an adventurous young woman, who craved for mystery flew to Baghdad to find her lover. With only a few pounds on her pocket, she tried to survive the challenging nature of Baghdad. It all went good, until a man with a stab on his back died in Victoria's room. His last words were Lucifer-Barah-Lefarge. She didn't know what it meant, but more importanly, she didn't know what she was involved in. Suddenly, her life got involved with the secret meeting....
Review:
OKAY! This book is a 10/10. If you love spy mystery novel, this book is perfect for your reading list. It was very thrilling and the detail created in it was so perfectly carved. You have to remember every single detail in this book, in order to guess what happened. The book is full of action and mystery, but most of all, the twist in it. I also love the moral from this story. If you love action/thriller packed with mystery, this is a perfect book for you!
2. Sleeping Murder
Synopsis:

As if some of the wall and furniture position isn't right. Until, she started to hallucinate. When Gwenda climb the stair, she started to see a young blonde woman is being killed. It was a hallucination, but it kept traumatize with Gwenda's mind. So she asked for her husband help. Her husband. Raymond called his famous aunt, Miss Marple. As they uncover the secret, Gwenda Halliday found out that she used to live in that house. As she asked people around her, she realized a lot of them kept a secret. And now, she has to find the murder and the victim, with her memory.
Review:
I feel like this book is kind of a psychological thriller book. The way it makes our mind puzzled by the unrealiable memory of Gwenda. And all the characters in this book is all so supicious, and makes us guess who to trust. There is no bloody scene in this book, but in some scenes, I can feel the scaredness of Gwenda. Its hard to guess who is guilty, because it felt like evrybody has a motive. I love this book and I will give this a solid 9/10.

Synopsis:
Ten people were invited to an island by an unknown host. They never met each other, never see each other. They just have one similarity, they had one dark secret. Each one of them die, one by one every single day. Who is the killer among them? What did they do, that made them killed?
Review:
This is probably the most stressful Agatha Christie's novel I've read. The killing technique depicted in the book is so graphic and bloody. It is kind of sadistic. This is a psychological thriller book, and it is different from most of Agatha Christie novel.
It It is hard to guess who is the killer.The killer is revealed in the ending, though. This book is really puzzling for me, but very thrilling. 9.5/10
That is all from me! I have these 3 books, can be included in your summer reading! See you all later and ciao for now!
