In December 1926, the mystery writer Agatha Christie disappears for eleven days, and her car is found abandoned near a chalk pit. Nan O'Dea, an Irish woman, is the narrator, and she turns out to be the woman her husband, Archie, is having an affair with. Nina de Gramont retells the disappearance from her point of view, covering Nan's background in Ireland, her friendships, and her relationship with Archie, and gradually reveals her plan to destroy Christie's marriage. Part historical fiction and part mystery, the novel reimagines the real episode and the reasons behind it.
It suits readers who like historical fiction with a twist and fans of the Golden Age mystery.
Balanced in tone; an easy read.
