I was completely absorbed in Agatha's story and despite my best efforts, I was even sympathetic towards Nan's plight. Meanwhile, readers learn more about Nan, Archie's mistress, and who she is exactly-what motivates her, her trauma from the past, and her early adult years in England and Ireland. This novel re-imagines the eleven day disappearance of Agatha Christie and the highly publicized search for her.
What happened to her? No one can find her.
She has decides she will leave as well, but all that remains is her abandoned car on the side of the road with a full suitcase inside. Archie takes off for a long weekend and leaves Agatha behind. There seems to not be much remorse on his end, despite the fact that Agatha wants to work on their marriage. Archie is so bold that he flaunts his mistress and even spends long weekends with her. Her husband, Archie, has a mistress and plans on divorcing Agatha to be with his mistress, Nan O'Dea. Despite living in a beautiful home with her husband and daughter, and the fact that she is a successful writer, her life isn't perfect. The question is, why? Why destroy another woman’s marriage, why hatch a plot years in the making, and why murder? How was Nan O’Dea so intricately tied to those eleven mysterious days that Agatha Christie went missing? "Īgatha Christie's world is crumbling apart. London, 1925: In a world of townhomes and tennis matches, socialites and shooting parties, Miss Nan O’Dea became Archie Christie’s mistress, luring him away from his devoted and well-known wife, Agatha Christie. The way justice feels sweet.” The greatest mystery wasn’t Agatha Christie’s disappearance in those eleven infamous days, it’s what she discovered.
In retrospect, it’s frightening, but I daresay in the moment it feels sweet. It takes over your body so completely, it’s like a divine force, grabbing hold of your will, your limbs, your psyche. It’s a particular feeling, the urge to murder.
“A long time ago, in another country, I nearly killed a woman. Goodreads says, " Every story has its secrets.
