I like living. I have sometimes been wildly, despairingly, acutely miserable, racked with sorrow, but through it all I still know quite certainly that just to be alive is a grand thing.

An amazing quote from Andrew Taylor, author of The Ashes of London

Note from Christie’s disappearance in 1926, also featured in A Talent for Murder

Agatha Christie is the original gone girl...

“I suppose you could draw a parallel between Dr James Sheppard in Roger Ackroyd and me”

Agatha Christie in A Talent for Murder

The proofs are in!

Editor’s note

Agatha Christie never spoke of her disappearance in the winter of 1926. As a result it has remained one of the great mysteries of modern times. When I first mentioned the idea of this book to her, she was understandably reluctant. However, she agreed to be interviewed on condition that the resulting volume should not be published until at least forty years after her death. I too served my solicitors with notice to the same effect.

I must admit it is odd to see my own name as a character in these pages. I played a very minor part in this narrative and I have tried to keep my role to the bare minimum. It really is Mrs Christie’s story and as such a great deal of it is told from her point of view, rather than my own.

In addition to Mrs Christie, I tried to speak to as many of the protagonists as possible to get an overview of the main events. Neither I, nor Mrs Christie, witnessed all the ensuing action and so, rather than leave out essential pieces of information, I decided to call upon the power of the imagination to reconstruct certain scenes.

This book is dedicated to those who did not survive the eleven dark days in December 1926. May they rest in peace.

The final letter

Mr Christie’s mistress, Nancy Neele

Agatha Christie disappeared on 3rd December 1926 for 10 days. But what and, more importantly, who caused this disappearance?

Who done it?
