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
