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.
