In 1926 Nan O'Dea became Archie Christie's mistress, luring him away from his devoted and well-known wife, Agatha Christie. This leads to eleven mysterious days that Agatha Christie went missing after Archie asks her for a divorce. This book is part truth and part fiction. First of all, Nancy Neeley was Archie's paramour's name. The book is written from Nan's point-of-view and she is a bit unreliable. I've read other books about this situation and there is a mystery about what really happened when Agatha went missing. When Agatha is found, she claimed amnesia and has never admitted to what really happened. In this book there are a couple twists at the end which I enjoyed and I like the spin that was put on this story. If you enjoy missing person books, then I believe you will enjoy this one. I would like to thank MacMillan for a copy of the audio for an honest opinion. I enjoyed the narrator who made listening to this book a pleasant experience for me.
