The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
A captivating historical fiction account of Agatha Christie and when she went missing for 11 days in 1926. She left her husband and daughter, causing an uproar and extensive manhunt throughout England. Marie Benedict does an excellent job of slowly giving the reader the background -- with dual timelines and dual narrators (both probably unreliable). We are kept guessing throughout the various twists and turns in the book, with a few surprises left for the end. We also get a peek into her life: her overbearing mother, her rival sister, her domineering and philandering husband, her distant daughter, and her love of surfing of all things! Apparently, no one really knows what happened to her during those missing 11 days, but the author provides a fascinating speculation about what may have happened.
