A Talent for Murder (Agatha Christie #1) by Andrew Wilson

'You may think you have a mind for murder, Mrs Christie but you will soon find that you are not the only one.'

Agatha Christie, in London to visit her literary agent, is on the station platform, preoccupied with the devastating knowledge that her husband Archie is having an affair. There's a light touch on her back, causing her to lose balance, then someone pulls her to safety from the oncoming train.

But her rescuer is no guardian angel: he is a blackmailer of the most insidious, manipulative kind. And Agatha must use every ounce of her cleverness and resourcefulness to thwart an adversary determined to exploit her genius for murder to kill on his behalf. . . 

The details of Agatha Christie's sudden disappearance in the winter of 1962 remain unknown. What actually happened to her in those ten days? In his tantalising new novel, Andrew Wilson weaves an utterly compelling and convincing story about this still unsolved mystery involving the world's bestselling novelist.
