Agatha Christie is ready to embark on a brand new, gripping murder case. But this time, she’s now not the writer – she’s a suspect…
1926 – Christie is a darling of the literary circuit and the most desired visitor in London’s glittering social scene. She can frequently be determined at conferences of the Detection Club – in which thriller writers come collectively to proportion ideas, change secrets and drink copiously. But then a fellow creator’s initiation ceremony takes a gruesome turn, and one of the institution ends up useless. Now, Agatha is not simply the creator of exceptional thriller plots – she’s a participant in a single.
And when Agatha disappears the day after the murder, she’s broadly assumed to be guilty. Only Eliza Baker, assistant to the Club’s enigmatic secretary, Dorothy Sayers, is inquisitive about investigating the case. But in a world in which murder is the remaining plot device, can Eliza piece collectively the evidence and discover the killer earlier than it’s too late?
