About this listen
A Reese Witherspoon Book Club pick and an instant New York Times best seller.
Nina de Gramont's The Christie Affair is a stunning novel that reimagines the unexplained 11-day disappearance of Agatha Christie in 1926 that captivated the world.
In 1926, Agatha Christie disappeared for 11 days. Only I know the truth of her disappearance.
I’m no Hercule Poirot.
I’m her husband’s mistress.
Agatha Christie’s world is one of glamorous society parties, country house weekends and growing literary fame.
Nan O’Dea’s world is something very different. Her attempts to escape a tough London upbringing during the Great War led to a life in Ireland marred by a hidden tragedy.
After fighting her way back to England, she’s set her sights on Agatha. Because Agatha Christie has something Nan wants. And it’s not just her husband.
Despite their differences, the two women will become the most unlikely of allies. And during the mysterious 11 days that Agatha goes missing, they will unravel a dark secret that only Nan holds the key to....

Nina De Gramont’s beautifully written imaginative history of Agatha Christie's disappearance plays out alongside a parallel murder mystery that could have flowed straight from the pen of the great AC herself. An inspired tapestry of fact and fiction places the story perfectly in its historical context. The result is a novel that literally out-Christies Agatha. An exciting, moving and delightful read (Janice Hallett, bestselling author of The Appeal)
I was enthralled, moved and entertained by The Christie Affair. This is a book which has it all - romance, enigma and wit in bucketloads. What's more, its devilishly good plot could out-do those written by Agatha Christie herself (Elizabeth Macneal, bestselling author of The Doll Factory and The Circus of Wonders)
Elegant, ingenious and hugely enjoyable, Nina de Gramont’s The Christie Affair is both an infamous mystery wonderfully explored, and a compelling story of love, adversity, determination and hope (AJ Pearce, bestselling author of Dear Mrs Bird and Yours, Cheerfully)

The Christie Affair
I truly enjoyed this book - the style - the setting. The reader was entertaining & used the style of speaker (of the day) to aid the story. I was engaged the whole way through.

Disturbing
The main character is disturbing to say the least. Not right in the head for one reason or another which she covers up under a stiff English upper lip. Readable but not furiously so

Creatively imagined
Whilst no one knows, still, what actually happened to Agatha Christie during those eleven days she went missing, this is an engrossing story full of believable possibilities, entwining love stories, tragic losses, confronting abuse, revenge, murder and unlikely friendships. There are plenty of twists and turns and well-developed characters. Very enjoyable read, for the most part.
The Audible narration was generally very good though the voices of the secondary characters were often disappointing.

Don't waste a credit
I couldn't find myself invested in this story at all and don't know how I managed to finish it. The chatacters are unrelatable and one dimensional. The story skips forward and backward without indicating the timing so very difficult to understand where you're up to. The twists weren't twisty enough to add any real intrigue and the ending left me feeling like there were unanswered questions but I feel so ambivalent about the book I don't even care to ponder the answers.
I know a lot of people have raved about this book but I feel as though they're all lying because I can't imagine what's good about it.....except the narrator didn't annoy me.
