  • Author Agatha Christie has sold an estimated 2 billion copies of her works, second only to the Bible and the works of William Shakespeare. But as people continue reading her mysteries today, many have forgotten about the biggest mystery in Christie's own life - a sensational disappearance that took place not long after WWI. That disappearance is the focus of a new novel by Marie Benedict. Jeff Glor sat down with her.

    She knew where she was and it sounds like she had to get away from her cheating husband to get some spa time...She was never missing and was not a "victim" but rather intelligent, knowing of what she needed/wanted & capable of taking her life into her own hands without the help of a man. Not weak but strong. Not a victim but a victor

      Exactly, and Benedict "cleverly positing that Agatha’s private tragedy was the genesis of the legendary author’s success" (accd to the Christian Science Monitor review) is sheer nonsense. "Roger Ackroyd" was written before the disappearance and already showed she was becoming a great writer.

    The question people should be asking and , in reality, there is just this question is: why does anybody in the entire world has NEVER written like Agatha Christie? Neither before or after. Once you start to read her books , you can't stop until the end of it. We know quite much about hers books and very few about her.

    She told her a relative in a letter where she was going. The letter to her husband was never revealed but he said the letter had no information… in which he burned. Her mother had died, husband was having an affair and she had writer’s block. She knew her husband was to meet up with his mistress… she “vanishes” and ruins that little party. Even checked into the hotel using his mistress’s last name… fabulous!! Press asked the hubs why she chose to use an alias or at least that name. I believe she planned the whole thing and enjoyed herself immensely.

    She knew he was cheating. She did what so many women do in that circumstance-she took herself away to get some alone time to heal and get clarity on her own life and how it would change without him in it. She was likely in pain/heartbreak, and needed to proverbially “lick her wounds” away from the public eye, away from him and his mistress. Her using the mistresses name is very telling to me. This isn’t a mystery at all. A woman left for a short while to take care of herself after a terrible hurt and betrayal. The end.

    4:44 “She was a victim in her own vanishing”? I think she wanted to give the old-ball & chain a good hard tug one final time! If her husband wanted the mistress so badly, then Christie was going to become the one who is free! Resuming the mistresses name for a spa holiday meant she was happy to switch roles! 😂 Good for her! 😝 Genius!

    Something occurred to me - what if she did this as a threat to her husband? Sort of, "I can make myself disappear, maybe next time I'll make it look as though *you* murdered me. So straighten up and stop having affairs!" Something along those lines? Or am I just thinking of "Gone Girl"? ETA: Apparently they split up. So maybe it wasn't a threat, just a punishment for her husband, who might have been under heavy suspicion for those 11 days, which couldn't have been pleasant. Sorry, I don't buy the "amnesia" explanation for her actions, and I'm usually a very trusting person who likes to think the best of others.
