The Christie Curse title caught my eye in the bookstore and the writing begs me to come back for more. The characterization was plausible, scenarios wrought with suspense, and the plot twisted just enough to put me off.įor me this was a timely read as Sophie Hannah just released The Monogram Murders, a Hercule Poirot mystery and the Christie name is all the buzz right now. Suspicion had been cast on a few others who had good cause or were just shady enough to be possible. Like Jordan, I had brushed off the real assailant until it was too late. It is an excellent example of a cozy mystery with enough suspects to keep you guessing. The Christie Curse is the first in the new Book Collector series. Victoria Abbot is actually a mother and daughter writing duo. The search has become a matter of life and death. Everyone is suspicious to Jordan and it is uncertain who her enemies really are. Everywhere Jordan turns, Officer Smiley is not far behind. ![]() Two attempts are made on a possible source's life and a woman is beaten. Jordan is hired to find it and her investigations soon become dangerous to anyone associated with her search. ![]() This is the basis for the mystery The Christie Curse. No one knew for sure but conjecture would have it she was writing. Perhaps she spent her time at a spa? Or, perhaps she spent her time in seclusion, writing a play. It's a rumour based upon the disappearance of mystery author Agatha Christie for a short period in 1926 when her first marriage ended. This only makes Jordan more cautious as she investigates the whereabouts of a play that no one can ascertain even exists. Jordan's predecessor, while in New York seeking information about the possibility of a never before published Christie play, was pushed to his death in the subway. It would seem the infamous play, it's very being in doubt, is a curse upon whomever seeks it.
