Praise
"[A] gripping historical fiction tale of true mystery."
— Good Morning America
"A stunning story... The ending is ingenious, and it's possible that Benedict has brought to life the most plausible explanation for why Christie disappeared for 11 days in 1926."
— The Washington Post
"It's not a whodunit or even a whydunit, but a sort of how-the-hell-did-he-do-it? As Christie's first and best-known detective, Hercule Poirot, might say: Patience. All will be revealed."
— The Los Angeles Times
"A winning whodunit... a deft, fascinating page-turner replete with richly drawn characters and plot twists that would stump Hercule Poirot."
— Kate Quinn, New York Times best selling author of The Alice Network, The Huntress, and The Rose Code
"With twists, surprises, and an ending that packs a punch in more ways than one... a whodunit infinitely worthy of its famous heroine. Benedict's exploration of Agatha Christie's life and mysterious disappearance will have book club discussions running overtime."
— Lisa Wingate, #1 New York Times best selling author of Before We Were Young and The Book of Lost Friends
"Both a twisty mystery and immersive portrait of the domestic and professional life of the legendary Agatha Christie. This is a must-read for fans of Agatha Christie."
— Chanel Cleeton, New York Times best selling author of Next Year in Havana and The Last Train to Key West
"THE MYSTERY OF MRS. CHRISTIE is part domestic thriller, part Golden Age mystery—and all Marie Benedict! An absorbing and immersive plunge into the disturbed private life of one of the world's most beloved authors, who confounded police, journalists, and generations of biographers when she disappeared from her home, like something out of one of her own novels. But you just might find a solution to the puzzle here.... (No Belgian detectives required. Knitting spinsters sold separately.)"
— Lauren Willig, New York Times bestselling author
"What a read! Agatha Christie is so beautifully drawn, you could easily believe Benedict knew her intimately. Each page uncovers fresh layers of pain, rage, genius and suffering, culminating with a firecracker of an ending. I loved it."
— Stuart Turton, bestselling author of The Devil and the Dark Water and The 7 ½ Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle
"[Marie Benedict] keeps the reader guessing: Which narrator is reliable? Who is the real villain? A compelling portrait of a marriage gone desperately sour."
— Kirkus Reviews
"The clever premise here is that Christie vanished deliberately so as to ensnare Archie in a trap as payback for his infidelities... the story makes for good fun."
— Publishers Weekly
