 Murder in Mesopotamia
The Leonard-Katherine marriage is described thus by Max Mallowan: “Although her [Katherine] health was an anxiety to Woolley, and her exactions made constant demands on his time, marriage made him more human and with advantage often diverted a single-mindedness which otherwise would have left no more time whatever for anything but work.”
Katherine Woolley had advised Agatha to wait a few years before marrying Max, and when this suggestion proved unacceptable, Katherine ordered her husband to inform Agatha that she would not be welcome as a guest during the five months of the dig and that her coming to Baghdad in October would equally be frowned at.

 Al-Ahram Weekly | Culture | Agatha Christie in Iraq
Married to the English archaeologist Sir Max Mallowan, first director of the British School in Iraq and a trustee of the British Museum, Christie spent several seasons cataloguing archaeological finds from Mallowan's excavations first in Iraq and later at Tell Brak in Syria, recording the work on early 16mm film.
When not working on site, Christie typed her novels, which are now translated into more languages and in more editions than Shakespeare, in a specially constructed room in the dig-house, raising the fascinating possibility that Miss Marple, amateur sleuth of the English village of St Mary Mead, was created not far from Baghdad.
Nevertheless, the exhibition reveals the intriguing and lifelong involvement that Christie had with the Middle East, and it emphasises the affection she had for Iraq and Egypt in particular.

He was fifteen years her junior, but she was instantly attracted to the “thin, dark young man” who was “very quiet – he seldom spoke, but was perceptive to everything that was required of him.” When Katherine Woolley suggested he should accompany Agatha on a trip round the surrounding countryside, the romance quickly took off.
As the years passed, and Max directed his own digs in Iraq and Syria, she became an integral part of the team, discovering a talent for piecing together broken pots.
