Every story has its secrets. Every mystery has its motives. "A long time ago, in another country, I nearly killed a woman. It's a particular feeling, the urge to murder. It takes over your body so completely, it's like a divine force, grabbing hold of your will, your limbs, your psyche. There's a joy to it. In retrospect, it's frightening, but I daresay in the moment it feels sweet. The way justice feels sweet." The greatest mystery wasn't Agatha Christie's disappearance in those eleven infamous days, it's what she discovered. London, 1925: In a world of townhomes and tennis matches, socialites and shooting parties, Miss Nan O'Dea became Archie Christie's mistress, luring him away from his devoted and well-known wife, Agatha Christie. The question is, why? Why destroy another woman's marriage, why hatch a plot years in the making, and why murder? How was Nan O'Dea so intricately tied to those eleven mysterious days that Agatha Christie went missing?"--|cProvided by publisher. 600 10 Christie, Agatha,|d1890-1976|vFiction. 650 0 Missing persons|vFiction. 650 0 Mistresses|vFiction. 650 0 Adultery|vFiction. 650 0 Murder|vFiction. 651 0 Great Britain|xHistory|yGeorge V, 1910-1936|vFiction. 655 7 Historical fiction.|2lcgft 655 7 Novels.|2lcgft 830 0 Reese's book club.
