Well this was an enjoyable telling of the days when Ms Agatha Christie went missing. I must say, I enjoy this telling more than others I’ve read. It felt more believable and honestly super sneaky. I really did like it. 

The ending left a bit to be desired. There’s a sort of epilogue and it’s honestly so short it felt unnecessary but at the same time it was what wrapped up the story in the end. While I didn’t love the back and forth, I did like that this format gave us the whole story and we got to experience the manuscript being written as well as what was going on to locate the missing Mrs Christie. 

I think I’m going 4⭐️. It had its ups and downs. It’s a quick listen with a great narrator but there’s something about it that just keeps it from being one I loved. Maybe book club will help me figure out what that is.
