Afternoon Book Group: The Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie Benedict In-Person

mrs. christie Join us the third Tuesday of every month for an in-depth discussion of quality best-selling fiction and nonfiction books including biographies.*

In December 1926, Agatha Christie goes missing. Investigators find her empty car on the edge of a deep, gloomy pond, the only clues some tire tracks nearby and a fur coat left in the car — strange for a frigid night. Her husband and daughter have no knowledge of her whereabouts, and England unleashes an unprecedented manhunt to find the up-and-coming mystery author. Eleven days later, she reappears, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away.

The puzzle of those missing eleven days has persisted. With her trademark exploration into the shadows of history, acclaimed author Marie Benedict brings us into the world of Agatha Christie, imagining why such a brilliant woman would find herself at the center of such a murky story, in her book The Mystery of Mrs. Christie.

Registration requested. Copies of the book are usually available at the Circulation Desk.
