That being said, the book had me feeling curious and wanting to find out more while reading it. But anyway, I think that I can say that I didn’t get what I expected. I expected a high-stakes thriller with a good amount of action…and while I can’t go into detail about what I was actually delivered through this book because spoilers (hehe, another Doctor Who reference for my fellow fans).

I will say that my expectations were partially to blame for my experience with The Mystery of Mrs Christie. I was so happy when Raincoast Books was able to send me an ARC of The Mystery of Mrs Christie for review purposes, and I couldn’t wait to read it–I was prepared for a thrill ride. So, when I heard that a book focused on said disappearance would be coming out, I just knew that I had to get my hands and read it. I used to be a very big fan), I’ve always been curious about what might have actually happened. The Mystery of Mrs Christie was one of my most anticipated releases for late 2020! Ever since I watched the episode on Doctor Who that focused on Agatha Christie and her mysterious disappearance (The Unicorn and the Wasp, Season 4, Episode 7…yes. What is real, and what is mystery? What role did her unfaithful husband play, and what was he not telling investigators? 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. The puzzle of those missing eleven days has persisted. Eleven days later, she reappears, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away. Her husband and daughter have no knowledge of her whereabouts, and England unleashes an unprecedented manhunt to find the up-and-coming mystery author.

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. In December 1926, Agatha Christie goes missing. A complimentary physical copy of this book was kindly provided by Raincoast Books in exchange for an honest review.
