A Talent For Murder by Andrew Wilson was a fun piece of historical fiction surrounding the one and only Agatha Christie. I loved the plot of this story but I felt like the characters were extremely one note. I found there to be a lot of fluff and filler, but I don’t think that it was necessary given how interesting the plot itself was. I wished this had gone a little more into detail rather than just walking through the motions of the plot. Everything seemed to happen to Mrs. Christie, rather than her being an agent of her own actions. Understandable, given the plot, but even still there should have been a little more action on her part in my opinion. This is a fun crime novel with interesting turns, but for me, it fell a bit short overall.
