This novel attempts to explain why Agatha left, what she was doing, and why she came back. Told from the perspective of her husband’s mistress, The Christie Affair tries to humanize the other woman and explain why she’s breaking up the Christie marriage. The vibes were great, the writing was great, and it touched on the abuses that occurred in Ireland around the early 1920s but despite all these amazing things the book was just so dull to me.
The twist that people rave about was dumb in my opinion and while I love reading about this time period, the story was just too slow to keep me interested. I had to switch the audiobook to twice the speed just to finish it.
The Christie Affair was another Reese’s book club pick that fell short for me. If you’re a huge Agatha Christie fan or really like king drawn out time period dramas with very little mystery this one might interest you, but for me it was a let down.
