I don’t believe Christie wrote this because of the following errors; “distracted woman” should have “distraught woman” and the use of 2 forms of agitate in the same sentence.
Interesting point … but despite being one of the world’s best-selling authors, if not the #1 … she is not perfect. This is a fairly early one, from 1923 or so… As one of the best-selling authors ever, her story and style has been studied in depth for many… (…interestingly near the end of her life, clinical studies revealed the reading level of her work had dropped significantly… and perhaps even revealed some senility in her last years… especially in the work “Elephants Can Remember”…. Just fyi.)
I agree that it is slightly clumsy in some of the sentence construction, but it was by Christie and a fairly early work published in 1923 (her first was 1920).

What nonsense. Distracted is a perfectly serviceable word to use. Distraught is too personal.
