sandy_lopez shared a tip "I just finished this book and I enjoyed it very much!! It was a great version of what might have happened to Agatha Christie when she disappeared for 11 days in 1926. #mystery #agathachristie"

emily_alwubayran shared a tip "An interpretation of the 11 days in which famed mystery author Agatha Christie disappeared without a trace, only to reappear and claim amnesia. The dual narrative was engaging, and seeing the personal hardships of Agatha through her perspective was a solemn experience. I only wish we had more of Agatha’s planning, and how she got away with it, what she did with those 11 days. But nonetheless, a good intro for any new fans of her life and works, which are worth reading."

scott_haartman shared a tip "I’m writing a book set in the 1920s and thought this might be a potential comp title. I’m also an Agatha Christie fan so felt like a good match. The opening didn’t feel overly compelling but I did get engaged before long. The book is structured as a dual-timeline narrative that reads more like the retelling of a complex relationship more than a puzzle to solve. The story question is more put on the reader to wonder what happened during Agatha’s missing 11 days than on any of the characters to solve a mystery, so if you want a protagonist with a clear goal, this won’t be it. Still a solid read for Christie fan."

madison_peregoy shared a tip "Your disdain for Archie grows throughout the book, which plays right into Agatha's plan! While unraveling the reasons behind her disappearance, she also withholds enough about herself to make it a true mystery. Based on Agatha Christie's real-life disappearance in the '20s and in the context of how poorly women were treated back then, this fictional speculation is so gripping that it makes you certain that this was possible. A mystery surrounding the queen of mysteries herself!"
