THE CHRISTIE AFFAIR "Devilishly clever, elegantly composed and structured-simply splendid." -KIRKUS REVIEWS (starred review) "A fascinating glimpse into history, with the sensational and unexplained disappearance of Agatha Christie; a layered and completely satisfying murder mystery; and a moving, emotional rendering of love, loss, revenge, and redemption-all with effortlessly stunning prose. Iloved every page and will be recommending this to everyone I know!" -PAULA MCLAIN, author of The Paris Wife and When the Stars Go Dark "Such a delight: intriguing, fast-paced, and elegantly written. Nina de Gramont takes you on an adventure through the English countryside with as many twists and turns as, well, an Agatha Christie novel. The unlikely alliances, complex motivations, and jaw-dropping surprises will keep you riveted until the very last page." - CHRISTINA BAKER KLINE, author of Orphan Train and The Exiles "Nina de Gramont's skillful storytelling is exceeded only by her tenderness for her characters, and I was swept up, turning the pages and savoring them, too. This is a cracking good read!" -THERESE ANNE FOWLER, author of A Good Neighborhood and It All Comes Down to This "This tale of two very different women who want the very same things in life forges surprising bonds both with its characters and the reader, deliciously subverting our notions of what makes a heroine, mother, writer, and wile." -NATALIE JENNER, author of The Jane Austen Society "The Christie Affair is my favorite kind of story: a fresh take on a real-life event, layered with mystery and filled with breathtaking plot twists. Toss in the windswept English countryside and a tragic past, and I'm done for. Nina de Gramont's novel shines on so many levels it's hard to keep count; [it's] an ode to Agatha Christie's legacy, as a dashing love story, and as a tribute to complicated, determined women. Magnificent." -FIONA DAVIS, author of The Lions of Fifth Avenue "The story combines dark pasts, dangerous liaisons, and unforeseen twists into a masterful work reminiscent of one of Christie's enigmatic works. The Christie Affair is both enthralling and beguiling, and will keep readers guessing until the very last page." -PAM JENOFF, author of The Lost Girls of Paris
