The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict
4.0

This was great! I’ve had bad luck with historical fiction based on real people (The Paris Wife, Loving Frank). Both of those failed to make the reader understand the attraction and draw of the romance, but Benedict built her relationship early on. It was much stronger and the characters were much better developed. I shouldn’t dismiss the fact that this book has Agatha Christie as the subject, and it IS possible that I was going to like it regardless of how it was written. Either way, it drew me in in a way the others just didn’t. Also, I think this is a perfectly plausible explanation for her mysterious disappearance. Definitely recommend it, especially to fans of Dame Agatha.
