In December 1926, Agatha Christie goes missing. Investigators find her empty car on the edge of a deep, gloomy pond, the only clues some tire tracks nearby and a fur coat left in the car--strange for a frigid night. Her husband and daughter have no knowledge of her whereabouts, and England unleashes an unprecedented manhunt to find the up-and-coming mystery author. Eleven days later, she reappears, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away.
The puzzle of those missing eleven days has persisted. With her trademark exploration into the shadows of history, acclaimed author Marie Benedict brings us into the world of Agatha Christie, imagining why such a brilliant woman would find herself at the center of such a murky story.
What is real, and what is mystery? What role did her unfaithful husband play, and what was he not telling investigators?
A master storyteller whose clever mind may never be matched, Agatha Christie's untold history offers perhaps her greatest mystery of all.

In December 1926 Agatha Christie disappeared for eleven days. When she mysteriously reappeared she claimed she had amnesia and had no recollection of why she went missing or where she was. Was the disappearance of her own making? If so, what was the reason? Did her husband, who was keeping secrets of his own, have anything to do with it? Once I started reading this book I had a hard time putting it down. The story is very well written and I loved the characters. Highly recommend! #SpringPicks
