I loved this story! Though it was about Agatha Christie, referenced her works, and was a fictional depiction of the mysterious 10 days she was missing, it felt like something she may have written.

The attention to details about each murder was so much like Christie’s mysteries! Never underestimate a clear divergent or obvious suspect.

I would love to read this over and over again!

I started out not really enjoying this book. However, as the stories of the characters started weaving together it all became quite satisfying.

A little bit weird and unrealistic, but if you could surrender some reality it was a really creative take on real events.
