This would've been so much more fun without Agatha Christie. Sorry. Nan's story was so well-written and just deserved its own place, especially in this climate, where we're more openly talking about the horrible things that have happened due to organized religion. The "historical" details of what happened to the Christies always took me out the story and didn't really fit within the plot, in my opinion. I got really into it at the end but the writing was a bit confusing at times.

The mystery of the disappearance of Agatha Christie as told by the mistress of her husband. A really good set up for a mystery book.
I really liked this book after getting over the fact that a real life event was fictionalized for this story ( luckily some names were changed)
The atmosphere, characters and even the mystery solved are clearly very Christie-esque, which made the book better.

I also appreciated  what we learned about the life of Archie Christies mistress, which was very tragic but interesting to read about.

The one thing I didn't like about this book was the insta-love aspect that occurred between two characters, but even that was very fitting to some mystery books that Christie wrote
