An odd little book, trying desperately to contrive a fictional murder mystery out of the real life disappearance of Agatha Christie in 1926. The plot is fairly ludicrous but it does paint a convincing portrait of the era among the stiff-upper-lip class of English people and gives us a tiny glimpse of the unique mind of Agatha Christie. Mingling the real life of writers with fiction can be done successfully (see Jude Morgan’s Charlotte and Emily) but will sadly it isn’t here.
