Ep. 38 Agatha Christie: How the "Queen of Crime" Became the Subject of a Real Life Murder Mystery

History Fix

In this episode, I explore the disappearance of famous British crime novelist, Agatha Christie. I'll relay the events leading up to her mysterious disappearance in 1926 and give you a play by play of the investigation, including where and how she was found. I'll also consider possible motives and try to make sense of why the "Queen of Crime" became the subject of her own real life murder mystery.
