An original and captivating read that has stayed inside my head' - Jenny Quintana, author of The Missing Girl and The Hiding Place The Christie Affair is stylish, compelling and multi-layered, exploring the themes of love, loss, revenge and sacrifice, tugging at our emotions as the truth is revealed. A clever re-imagining of what happened in the days when Christie disappeared as well as a stunning murder mystery which will keep the reader guessing. Devilishly clever, elegantly composed and structured - simply splendid' - Kirkus 'The story unfolds in a series of carefully placed vignettes you may find yourself reading and rereading, partly to get the details straight, partly to fully savor the well-turned phrases and the dry humor, partly so the book won't have to end, damn it. Nina de Gramont takes this thread of a story and weaves it into a rich and vibrant tapestry' - Kristin Hannah, author of Firefly Lane and The Four Winds Full of unexpected twists and written in beautiful prose. An astonishingly clever novel that manages to be both a deeply satisfying mystery and a profoundly moving story about lost love and the many ways in which grief can shape one's character. 'The Christie Affair is a genuine marvel. '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, author of Dear Mrs Bird and Yours, Cheerfully What's more, its devilishly good plot could out-do those written by Agatha Christie herself' - Elizabeth Macneal, author of The Doll Factory and The Circus of Wonders This is a book which has it all - romance, enigma and wit in bucketloads. 'I was enthralled, moved and entertained by The Christie Affair. An exciting, moving and delightful read' - Janice Hallett, author of The Appeal The result is a novel that literally out-Christies Agatha. An inspired tapestry of fact and fiction places the story perfectly in its historical context. '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.
