![]() ![]() ![]() If, like me, you are familiar with the story then the suspense comes not from the “what happened” but rather the “why.” I wish I had entered into the book with no knowledge of the case because I think I would have enjoyed it so much more. If you don’t know what happened to Agatha Christie, this book will work much, much better as a mystery. Her disappearance was widely covered by the press, and Her car was found abandoned on the side of the road, her luggage inside, as well as a winter coat it was assumed she would have been wearing due to the temperature outside. ![]() She was planning on going to Yorkshire for the weekend, but never arrived at her destination. ![]() Agatha Christie disappeared for eleven days in 1926. Christie is based on a real, widely publicized event. Add to that, we spend a lot of time in her husband Archie Christie’s point of view, and frankly that’s a place no one would want to be. Christie and it’s, “Maybe don’t fuck with your wife when she invents unsolveable ways to murder people for a living.” In a lot of ways this book is a historical Gone Girl, which normally would be my jam, but I found the suspense disrupted by the fact that this is based on a real event and I already knew what happened.
