The Christie Affair by Nina de Gramont
DID NOT FINISH: 54%

Thank you to St. Martin's Press and NetGalley for the gifted copy of The Christie Affair!  All opinions in this review are my own.

Unfortunately, I DNFed this one at page 168.  The mystery surrounding the days that Agatha Christie went missing is an alluring premise.  Coupled with the affair her husband was having, I was instantly drawn to this book.  It took me a little while to get used to the fact that the mistress was narrating it but I eventually had to stop because it became more about her and her past rather than Agatha.  There was way too much backstory for her and I got to one scene in particular that proved to myself I was done with the book.
