But what they don’t know is that Agatha left behind a letter to Archie advising him on what he must do and act. It’s clear the police believe he’s the number one suspect. He shows no interest in Agatha and is annoyed that his weekend away with his mistress is interrupted. It’s not a spoiler to say that Archie is the worst. Let’s first talk about Archie’s storyline. Eventually, the two timelines will come together. The other timeline starts when Agatha and Archie first meet and documents their rocky relationship. The story is told in dual timelines-one follows Agatha’s husband, Archie, on the day it’s found out she has disappeared. What is real, and what is mystery? What role did her unfaithful husband play, and what was he not telling investigators?Īgatha Christie novels have withstood the test of time, due in no small part to Christie’s masterful storytelling and clever mind that may never be matched, but Agatha Christie’s untold history offers perhaps her greatest mystery of all. With her trademark historical fiction exploration into the shadows of the past, acclaimed author Marie Benedict brings us into the world of Agatha Christie, imagining why such a brilliant woman would find herself at the center of such murky historical mysteries.

The puzzle of those missing eleven days has persisted. Eleven days later, she reappears, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away.

Her World War I veteran husband and her daughter have no knowledge of her whereabouts, and England unleashes an unprecedented manhunt to find the up-and-coming mystery author. Investigators find her empty car on the edge of a deep, gloomy pond, the only clues some tire tracks nearby and a fur coat left in the car - strange for a frigid night. In December 1926, Agatha Christie goes missing. And it’s an entertaining ride! The synopsis Marie Benedict takes a fictional look at what happened during those 11 days. So this is where historical fiction comes in. And it was never confirmed what exactly happened-the mystery writer kept her greatest mystery close to her chest. I had no idea that beloved writer Agatha Christie disappeared for 11 days back in 1926. Christie, I knew instantly it was a must-read.

When I read the premise for The Mystery of Mrs. I usually spend plenty of time Googling them after I finish the book! Some of my favorite ones are based on real people.
