![]() ![]() If, like me, you are familiar with the story then the suspense comes not from the “what happened” but rather the “why.” I wish I had entered into the book with no knowledge of the case because I think I would have enjoyed it so much more. If you don’t know what happened to Agatha Christie, this book will work much, much better as a mystery. ![]() Her disappearance was widely covered by the press, and Her car was found abandoned on the side of the road, her luggage inside, as well as a winter coat it was assumed she would have been wearing due to the temperature outside. She was planning on going to Yorkshire for the weekend, but never arrived at her destination. Agatha Christie disappeared for eleven days in 1926. Christie is based on a real, widely publicized event. Add to that, we spend a lot of time in her husband Archie Christie’s point of view, and frankly that’s a place no one would want to be. Christie and it’s, “Maybe don’t fuck with your wife when she invents unsolveable ways to murder people for a living.” In a lot of ways this book is a historical Gone Girl, which normally would be my jam, but I found the suspense disrupted by the fact that this is based on a real event and I already knew what happened.
