I wasn't too sure about the Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont when I first looked at the blurb, but Nina de Gramont wove a wonderful fictitious story of two women, Agatha Christie and Nan O'Dea (
Nancy Neele). One was Archie Christie's wife, the other his mistress. Agatha Christie, in 1926, threw the newspapers into a frenzy when
Agatha Christie disappeared for several days. Her own personal mystery was never solved, but Nina de Gramont surmises what she may have been doing during her disappearance. The two women were opposites with Nan growing up in a poor London family and Agatha living a wealthy life.
