I love the way that Agatha Christie crafted herself out of dreadful situation and made sure that she didn’t get the short end of the stick!  My husband is a huge fan of her works and I’ll have to see if he has heard of her disappearance.

This started slow for me, otherwise it probably would have been a 5 star read.  I haven't read Agatha Christie so I didn't have any background going in, but I loved the character of Agatha.  So many of her feelings resonated with me deeply, and I adored how her intellect was portrayed.

DID NOT FINISH: 18%

I know too much about this story and Agatha Christie to read a fictionalized version

I would have given this 4 stars but it completely spoils The Murder of Roger Ackroyd.
