Status Updates From The Case of the Christie Co...

Ok, now for the assemble and accuse section. It couldn’t have been the actual historical figures. Maud Wilkerson might be a man in disguise.

“Or we could play.” His cheeks turned the color of a pale-pink rose. “A game.”

“Really?” Her spirits brightened.

He nodded. “Why not?”

Lord have mercy. Florid prose aside, she’s supposed to be “smart” and couldn’t tell that he’s infatuated?

D. I. Goforth looked back at Eliza. “We really need you back at the Yard. No one interrogates like you.”

Excuse me? This is beginning to read like a kid’s book.

The heroine is insufferable, so very entitled and smart alecky. And Theo fawning over her somehow also added to the cringe factor for me. Let’s see if the mystery is at least decent.

The Case of the Christie Conspiracy is a fast-paced mystery that leans into the intrigue surrounding the real-life disappearance of Agatha Christie. Blending fact with fiction, the story imagines a conspiracy behind Christie’s famous 1926 vanishing, turning a historical curiosity into a suspenseful narrative.

Overall, it’s an entertaining read that will especially appeal to fans of historical mysteries

Ouch, touché! I feel called out 😂
