    What splendid surprises
  

*by L***S on Reviewed in the United States on June 8, 2023*

I was not aware of the biographical nature of this book to Agatha Christie's life. It was excellently written and the intrigue made me feel it was one of her types of mystery writings. It wasn't until the afterward that I found out it was closely biographical to her life. How very adventurous!This book will keep you intrigued for sure and the characters were all so far from having any part of their lives classified as boring. It's unbelievable the amount of adventure involved in the midst of so much tragedy.There are truths to the saying that truth is stranger than fiction. This book would be something to prove that true despite it being fiction based on true facts.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars







  
  
    Unexpectedly good fictional account of a dark period in Agatha Christie's life.
  

*by O***T on Reviewed in the United States on January 27, 2017*

I debated downloading this story.  Agatha Christie as the heroine of a work of fiction?  Putting real, famous authors into novels doesn't usually work for me, but I'm happy to report that Ashford did a very good job.The book takes place in 1928.  Agatha Christie is still reeling after losing her mother in 1926 and almost at the same time being blindsided by her husband Archie, who tells her he has a mistress and wants a divorce.  1926-1928 was a very dark period in her life, with even a bit of a real-life mystery when she disappeared for 11 days before being found at a Harrowgate hotel.  This disappearance has never been fully explained and is not even touched on in Christie's autobiography but it is not central to the plot of this book except in reference to her emotional breakdown and fragility after Archie's betrayal.Instead, what we have here is Agatha setting out incognito (as Mary Miller, widow) for Baghdad on the Orient Express, at about the time Archie and his lover are set to marry.  She's hoping for a distraction and is looking to find some peace of mind.  On the train, she makes the acquaintance of two other women:  Nancy Nelson (fictional) and Katherine Keeling (actual person of the time).  These women also have problems in their lives and, as they gradually get to know each other better, there will be a slow healing process for all three.There are fictional and real historical figures in the book and the story itself does not deviate much from the basic facts of Christie's life.  She did take that trip on the Orient Express.  She did spend time in Baghdad.  She did visit an archaeological dig.  She was emotionally fragile at that moment.  However, the stories of the two women she meets on the train are imagined, even much of that of Katherine Keeling, who was a real archaeologist and did become a friend of Christie's.The other important real figures here are Leonard Wooley, head archaeologist of the dig at Ur visited by Christie, who was Keeling's husband, and, of course, Max Malloren, young archaeologist with whom Christie develops a relationship, in spite of their 14 year age difference.  (No spoiler here.  Max was Christie's second husband, from 1930 until her death in 1976.)When I downloaded this, I was under the misconception that there was to be a made-up mystery in the book which Christie would solve by using her "little grey cells" and the techniques of Hercules Poirot.  That wasn't exactly the case.  The mysteries here were just the secrets in the three women's lives that eventually are revealed.  But, as such, this book is an entertaining and interesting entry in the genre of women's fiction.
