The Christie Affair

I  almost did not read this because I thought it is so similar to a few other books about the disappearance of Agatha Christie.. but I am glad I did ..this is a clever plot looking at the same situation from a completely different perspective... 

This time we hear the story from the woman Archie Christie is going to leave his wife for.  The other woman! We meet Nan O'Dea, the woman Archie is having an affair with.  She tells the reader  the story of her life and what led her to meet Archie and win his affection.  

Of course we know the main details, Agatha runs away from home the night Archie tells her he is leaving her to marry Nan.  Her car is found off the road and Agatha has disappeared.  A country wide man hunt is underway for many days until Agatha is spotted.

Though you may  think you  know the outcome of the story this time we are given a new perspective and some new reasons to look at the case from a different angle.  Also what would a story about Christie be without  some mysterious circumstances ... so there are some mysteries that the reader can try and solve as the plot unfolds.

Entertaining and clever  written by author, Nina de Gramont.
