Did you know that Agatha Christie, the Queen of Mystery, once went missing for 11 days in 1926? Her disappearance remains a mystery almost as intriguing as her novels. During this time, the world was captivated, with newspapers filling pages with speculations and theories. Christie later claimed amnesia, but never fully explained the incident. This real-life enigma adds an extra layer of intrigue to her already captivating stories. If you’re a fan of her work or new to her writing, consider diving into "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd"—a masterpiece that surprises even the most seasoned detective story readers. What Christie novel are you planning to read next?
