'I wouldn't scream if I were you. Unless you want the whole world
to learn about your husband and his mistress.' Agatha Christie, in
London to visit her literary agent, boards a train, preoccupied and
flustered in the knowledge that her husband Archie is having an
affair. She feels a light touch on her back, causing her to lose
her balance, then a sense of someone pulling her to safety from the
rush of the incoming train. So begins a terrifying sequence of
events. Her rescuer is no guardian angel; rather, he is a
blackmailer of the most insidious, manipulative kind. Agatha must
use every ounce of her cleverness and resourcefulness to thwart an
adversary determined to exploit her genius for murder to kill on
his behalf. 'Wilson not only knows his subject but he deftly moves
the tale away from mere literary ventriloquism and into darker
territory. Great fun, too' Observer 'The queen of crime is the
central character in this audacious mystery, which reinvents the
story of her mysterious disappearance with thrilling results'
Guardian 'A thoroughly clever entertainment and a fitting homage to
the great author, but it has a chilling melancholy all its own' The
Tablet What readers are saying about A Talent for Murder: 'The
initial premise of the story is pure genius, and when the reader
realises by the end of chapter one whose head they are inside,
goose bumps are guaranteed to occur' Greg, Goodreads, 4 stars 'A
darkly twisting tale of murder and manipulation' Erin Britton,
