A Talent for Murder
By: Andrew WilsonLocation: FIC WIL
Genre: Mystery- Historical Fiction
A Talent for Murder is the fictionalised story of the real-life disappearance of the novelist in 1926 of Agatha Christie – a story she would never speak of. Author Andrew Wilson has blended fact with fiction, mixed with intrigue and old-fashioned mystery. A highly enjoyable novel which I have no trouble in recommending.- Brenda
Agatha
Christie, in London to visit her literary agent, is boarding a train,
preoccupied with the devastating knowledge that her husband is having an
affair. She feels a light touch on her back, causing her to lose her
balance, then a sense of someone pulling her to safety from the rush of
the incoming train. So begins a terrifying sequence of events—for her
rescuer is no guardian angel, rather he is a blackmailer of the most
insidious, manipulative kind.
“You, Mrs. Christie, are going to commit a murder. But, before then, you are going to disappear.”
Writing about murder is a far cry from committing a crime, and Agatha must use every ounce of her cleverness and resourcefulness to thwart an adversary determined to exploit her expertise and knowledge about the act of murder to kill on his behalf.
