About the author:
Marie Benedict is a lawyer with more than ten years' experience as a litigator at two of the country's premier law firms. While practicing as a lawyer, Marie dreamed of a fantastical job unearthing the hidden historical stories of women -- and finally found it when she tried her hand at writing. She embarked on a new, narratively connected series of historical novels with The Other Einstein, which tells the tale of Albert Einstein's first wife, and Carnegie's Maid, the story of a brilliant woman who may have spurred Andrew Carnegie toward philanthropy.
Her latest historical novel, The Mystery of Mrs. Christie, follows one of the most notorious events in literary history: Agatha Christie's mysterious 11-day disappearance in 1926. Investigators find her empty car on the edge of a deep, gloomy lake, the only clues some tire tracks nearby and a fur coat left in the car. Eleven days later, she reappears, just as mysteriously as she disappeared, claiming amnesia and providing no explanations for her time away. The puzzle of those missing eleven days has persisted. A master storyteller whose clever mind may never be matched, Agatha Christie's untold history offers perhaps her greatest mystery of all.
