The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict
The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict Book Summary
THE INSTANT NEW YORK TIMES AND USA TODAY BESTSELLER!
"A stunning story... The ending is ingenious, and it's possible that Benedict has brought to life the most plausible explanation for why Christie disappeared for 11 days in 1926."—The Washington Post
The New York Times and USA Today bestselling author of The Only Woman in the Room returns with a thrilling reconstruction of one of the most notorious events in literary history: Agatha Christie's mysterious 11-day disappearance in 1926.
In December 1926, Agatha Christie goes missing. Investigators find her empty car on the edge of a deep, gloomy pond, the only clues some tire tracks nearby and a fur coat left in the car—strange for a frigid night. Her World War I veteran husband and her daughter have no knowledge of her whereabouts, and England unleashes an unprecedented manhunt to find the up-and-coming mystery author. Eleven days later, she reappears, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away.
The puzzle of those missing eleven days has persisted. With her trademark historical fiction exploration into the shadows of the past, acclaimed author Marie Benedict brings us into the world of Agatha Christie, imagining why such a brilliant woman would find herself at the center of such murky historical mysteries.
What is real, and what is mystery? What role did her unfaithful husband play, and what was he not telling investigators?
Agatha Christie novels have withstood the test of time, due in no small part to Christie's masterful storytelling and clever mind that may never be matched, but Agatha Christie's untold history offers perhaps her greatest mystery of all.
Fans of The Secrets We Kept, The Lions of Fifth Avenue, and The Alice Network will enjoy this riveting saga of literary history, suspense, and love gone wrong.

Recommend. Fun read that I couldn’t put down
Beautifully Written but.... The language was beautiful and I love the way she flushed out Agatha and the way her mind works. Archie is a bit flat, and the last half of the book is also a bit disappointing and lack luster as the build up has a relatively anticipated ending. All things considered—I do love the depiction of a cherished woman in history and the message about taking the reins of your own story.
A bit of a chore.. The premise of this novel is interesting enough, but I found it to be quite poorly edited. The text is fraught with anatopisms that jarred me out of believing that I was in England in the early 1900s—for example, a reference to the “hood” of a car, rather than the “bonnet.” The persistent lack of a possessive adjective with gerunds (e.g., the erroneous “I appreciate you taking the time,” instead of “I appreciate your taking the time”) makes me wonder if anyone actually went over the text thoroughly prior to publication. I found this error particularly irritating when it cropped up in Agatha’s dialogue. Lastly, the present tense in Archie’s timeline is, I’m sure, designed to lend immediacy to those scenes, but it comes across as being more cumbersome than enriching. The novel has some redeeming qualities—it’s a fairly quick read and reasonably entertaining—but, for me, it falls flat overall.
Could not stand this book. There is so much wrong with this book I don’t even know where to begin. Perhaps most of all are the absolutely despicable characters—not one redeeming character in the book. Second, the storyline is not only implausible but has so many continuity errors in it that the author’s intent to create a “mystery” is completely undone: a charade not unlike that of her character. Do not waste your time with this read—I regret the hours I can’t get back and only finished it because it was a book for my book club.
A good mystery. Very clever plot that held my interest to the very end.
