The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict is a smartly written historical fiction book that delves
into the real-life mystery surrounding the famous author’s eleven day disappearance in 1926. Benedict
provides a gripping story full of twists and turns that leaves the readers wanting to keep turning the
pages. Fans of Agatha Christie will appreciate this ingenious and plausible fictional account of the real
life mystery of the beloved author.
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 11 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?
Happy Reading!

*I love to read, although I do not always have the time to sit down and dedicate time to enjoying a brilliant book like I would like to. For this reason, I am a huge fan of audible. While there is nothing quite like the feel of an actual book in your hands or even the smell of the pages, I have grown fond of audio books. After dropping my kids off at school, I will listen to a book while on my way to work and then again after work. Really it ends up being anytime I am in the car by myself I am listening to a book. This allows me to get through a book in 1-2 weeks. It is such a great option for those of us that have to multi-task just to get through our day!
