Author Agatha Christie went missing one cold winter day in December 1926. She was gone for eleven days, defying any attempts by the authorities to locate her, until she surfaced at a spa in the British countryside, claiming amnesia. In The Mystery of Mrs. Christie, novelist Marie Benedict spins a tale of what might have happened, creating a compelling narrative that focuses on Christie's unfaithful husband, their unhappy marriage, and Christie's own unfulfilled hopes and shattered dreams. With a twist worthy of the mystery maven herself, The Mystery of Mrs. Christie is historical fiction at its finest.
