Almost 30 years ago I read my first Nancy Drew book, "The Hidden Staircase." I've had a love affair with mysteries ever since. -Kristi.

5/5 Stairs to The Christie Affair by @ninadegramont . I just finished listening to this beautifully written novel, which imagines the true story behind Agatha Christie’s disappearance for eleven days in 1926. I thought this would be about Agatha, but ultimately it’s not Agatha’s story at all. I loved that this story focuses on Nan O’Dea, a fictional version of the mistress of Archie Christie, Agatha’s first husband. The story is told through Nan’s perspective, weaving the present and past together to create a narrative that was difficult to put down. I don’t want to say much on the story itself and spoil anyone’s journey with this book - I loved the characters and the twists the story takes along the way.
Sunday afternoon vibes. Sat down to write a quick book review, but my dog took over my lap and Knives Out took over the TV. (Un)surpringly, my review is coming along slower than planned…
