Did Agatha Christie Set Up Her Own Murder?


Neatorama discusses Agatha Christie's mysterious disappearance in December of 1926.

From the story...

Christie has become one of the most popular detective science fiction writers of all time, selling over 2 billion copies of her books in 104 languages.

Still, one of the most sensational and mysterious events in her life was her own 11-day disappearance in December 1926. Although her defender believe Agatha was suffering from some kind of amnesia, all available evidence suggest that she used her expertise as a mystery writer to set her husband as the prime suspect in a murder case - with herself as the supposed victim.

Jonathan, what a fascinating tidbit, one that I'm going to explore further. Thanks.

Also want to wish you the best in your freelance writing career. I happen to be in the same field and live in Seattle.

Cheers,
