This really would have been better entirely separate from Agatha Christie, it was a strong enough story on its own, and the link to Christie’s disappearance just felt incredibly tenuous and unnecessary

I love a morally ambiguous narrator (to the point where you're questioning their reliability!) and some 4th wall breaking. This book gripped my attention from the jump and didn't let me go until I finished.

This was my first read for my book club. Found the fist 2/3rds of the book a nice read but not enthralling , however, I loved the last third of the book. I didn't see the plot twist coming so found that once it was revealed the pace really picked up for me. Found the story interesting as I didn't know about Agatha Christie's disappearance and I think it did a good job at portraying the beliefs and stigmas present at the time of the incident. At the beginning I didn't like the character of Nan, however, finding out about her backstory made me understand her reasons behind her behaviour and actions, actually finding me slightly warm to her at the end of the novel despite her choices.
