This is the story of a period of time when Agatha Christie goes missing. One would think that this is the focus of the story. However, since it was told from the point of view of the other woman - Nan- that shifts the entire focus of the novel. It’s a decent story. It’s good. It just didn’t captivate me. Thanks to NetGalley for the early read.

By now, most people know of the real life mystery Christie created when she disappeared for 11 days in 1925, the assumption being that she faked her own disappearance after uncovering her husband’s affair. de Gramont takes a different tack and follows Christie through those 11 days as she tries to uncover the truth about her husband’s lover and a murderous plot years in the making. A cracking good read

This was an interesting premise. I have always loved the disappearance of Agatha and wondered what really happened. I thought that this was a very interesting idea of what happened, but I do wish it would have been Agatha's story and not her husband's mistress telling it. The overall story had some great mystery to it, which made it a compelling read.

After listening to about 40% of this book I’ve decided it just isn’t for me!
I’m a big Agatha Christie fan and so I was excited when I saw this book! I love the idea of what happened in those day she’s was missing. What I got out of the book was nothing about Christie but instead we follow Nan while Christie is missing. I just didn’t connect to Nan and wasn’t interested in her back story. I found myself not really listening to the book so I knew I had to move on. You may enjoy this if you go into it knowing we don’t get to see much about Christie. Thank you to netgalley and Macmillan audio for my advanced listening copy!
