![]() ![]() I liked how the pieces of the story fell into place and that there were some intriguing twists along the way. The mystery set in the hotel was cleverly done and I enjoyed this strand of the book it certainly felt closest to Christie’s own style and the pacing as the novel raced towards its denouement definitely gathered pace and held my interest. These might be a good next stop if you finish ‘The Christie Affair’ wanting more!Īs for me, there was lots about this novel that I loved. This isn’t the first time that a book has focused on this mysterious period in Christie’s life – I enjoyed Andrew Wilson’s ‘A Talent for Murder’ and I have my eye on ‘The Mystery of Mrs Christie’ by Marie Benedict. The story becomes one of Nan’s own past and personal tragedy – an Irish lover and a dark secret – that has ongoing repercussions for all involved. ![]() This one is narrated by Nan O’Dea, mistress to Christie’s husband, Archie. Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for my review copy of this book, to be published in January 2022.Īs Agatha Christie never revealed where she went in those missing 11 days, Nina de Gramont has plenty of scope to imagine a plot every bit as twisty as Christie’s own novels. ![]() I love crime novels – especially Agatha Christie’s – so jumped at the chance to read this fictionalised account of the period during 1926 when Christie disappeared for 11 days. ![]()
