    The Strange Disappearance of Agatha Christie: 11 Missing Days

    On the 4th December 1926, Agatha Christie’s car was discovered roughly 22km (or 14 miles) away, abandoned at Newlands Corner, near Guilford in Surrey, on the edge of a chalk pit. The car contained only her fur coat, the small suitcase she had packed, and an expired driver's license belonging to the novelist. Agatha herself was nowhere to be found. So begins what remains a mystery as compelling as any Christie penned. Where was she? And how does the world’s most famous author simply disappear? 📚BOOKS MENTIONED A Talent for Murder by Andrew WilsonThe Mystery of Mrs. Christie by Marie BenedictThe Christie Affair by Nina Deh Gramon The Mysterious Affair at Styles by Agatha Christie   The Secret of Chimneys by Agatha Christie  The Murder of Roger Ackroyd by Agatha ChristieThe Big Four by Agatha ChristieAgatha Christie: An Autobiography by Agatha Christie🔗LINKS NationalArchive UK NewYork Times Article HistoryExtra HistoricUK BlackpoolGrand Poirot US ☕️Follow Likely Stories on Instagram and Facebook @likelystoriespodcast or at www.rachelvine.com.au/likelystories 🪻Follow Rachel Vine Creative on Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube @rachelvinecreative or at www.rachelvine.com.au 🌸Find out more about Wildflower Editorial on Instagram and Facebook @wildflowereditorial or at www.wildflowereditorial.com.au 💌Got a favourite bookish mystery, an intriguing author story, or a curious literary tale that you think would be a perfect fit for the podcast?
