The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict
3.0

This was a quick read and interesting for the most part, though I didn't love it.

I know it was true to life, but Archie was a really annoying person to read about. He really was awful in most of his choices. It was also frustrating to read about the way Agatha saw her duty as a wife to him.

The story itself was interesting, but a little long for me. I didn't hate the ending, but it wasn't the most satisfying either. I also struggled a little with the format: the chapters went back and forth between present and past tense, which felt jarring to me.
