Agatha Christie was the most famous female crime writers of all
time, and yet in December 1926 when she was 35 years old, became
the subject of a mystery: her disappearance for a period of eleven
days. Questions arose such as why did she abandon her motorcar on
such a bitterly cold winter's night with her fur coat inside it?
Why did Christie adopt a false name and claim that she originated
from Cape Town, South Africa? Why did she not recognise either a
photograph of her own daughter or husband when she was finally
reunited with him? Some accused her of playing a deliberate hoax on
the police in an attempt to generate publicity as a crime writer.
Others declared that this was an attempt to embarrass her
unfaithful husband Archie (whom she knew was about to leave her)
and gain sympathy at the same time. But was there another far more
profound reason for her behaviour whereby she became the innocent
victim of circumstances completely beyond her control? Norman
agrees with the "Fugue state" theory, suggesting that she had no
conscious knowledge of her actions. All this and more can be
revealed for the first time in Andrew Norman's gripping Agatha
Christie: The Disappearing Novelist.
