The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict
4.0
For many years I was reading Agatha Christie's mystery novels with the character of Hercule Poirot and also Mrs Marple.
This book is by the very talented former lawyer Marie Benedict. She is on a mission to write mostly about women and our lives and to focus on women who have been in the forefront in some area yet have been held down by society and mores and wrongful expectations.
Here she zeroed in on something that happened in 1926 in England when Agatha Christie who had already been a successful writer with 3 of her mystery novels well read and was also a wife and a mother and a daughter and a sister and for a period of some days she disappeared.
This book moves back and forth on a date in 1912 and the disappearance date in 1926 and moves between her talking back in 1912 when she met and married (big mistake) Archibald Christie and in 1926 when he who has decided to divorce and go with another lady Nancy in marriage. The last parts of the book are after this event of her disappearance ends and how Agatha gets back her Life...
