From Little Stack
Agatha Christie wasn’t just a writer of the mysterious. There were mysteries about her, too. The Christie Affair, a historical mystery fiction, explores one of the more famous ones.
On December 3, 1926, Agatha Christie was told by her husband that he was leaving her for another woman, a Nancy Neele. Christie hopped into her car and drove off, only to have her car discovered abandoned with her clothing and driver's license inside. Christie disappeared for eleven days. Finally, on December 14, 1926, she was discovered at a hotel staying under the name Mrs. Tressa Neele.
What happened in those eleven days? Well…
The Christine Affair is told from the point of view of Nancy Neele, referred to as Ms. Nan O'Dea in the novel. Cleaving close to history, de Gramont’s book still spins a wild and gripping mystery, exploring romance, revenge, murder and what people will do in the name of love.
A must-read for fans of Agatha Christie, and for those enamoured by the writer herself.
Why would the world's most famous mystery writer disappear for eleven days? What makes a woman desperate enough to destroy another woman's marriage? How deeply can a person crave revenge?
In 1925, Miss Nan O'Dea infiltrated the wealthy, rarefied world of author Agatha Christie and her husband, Archie. In every way, she became a part of their life––first, both Christies. Then, just Archie. Soon, Nan became Archie's mistress, luring him away from his devoted wife, desperate to marry him.
Nan's plot didn't begin the day she met Archie and Agatha. It began decades before, in Ireland, when Nan was a young girl. She and the man she loved were a star-crossed couple who were destined to be together––until the Great War, a pandemic, and shameful secrets tore them apart. Then acts of unspeakable cruelty kept them separated.
What drives someone to murder? What will someone do in the name of love? What kind of crime can someone never forgive? Nina de Gramont's brilliant, unforgettable novel explores these questions and more.
