Brief Synopsis: The story of Agatha and Archie Christie's love affair, marriage, and infidelity that led to her 11 day disappearance. Told through alternating chapters with Agatha's part recollecting her life with Archie, and Archie's section in the "present" as he is being suspected of orchestrating his wife's disappearance
Thoughts: This title is the first one of the year for my book club. None of us knew much about the 11 day disappearance of Agatha Christie, or her life in general, so it was quite interesting to learn more about this history. We enjoyed the story structure of the two narrators and timelines; we also truly felt for poor Agatha as she had to deal with that louse of a husband...or was he? Potential SPOILER: A few of us in book club made the comparison of Mrs. Christie's account of her life with her husband to another novel about a wife's mysterious disappearance...Gone Girl. I'll leave it at that.
