At 9:45 on Friday evening, December 3, 1926, Agatha Christie put her daughter Rosalind to bed, grabbed her fur coat, and left home. What she hoped would be an action that would bring her wayward husband to his senses exploded into an event that haunted her for the rest of her life. Christie was gone for eleven days. The events surrounding her disappearance remained a mystery only until recently when her best friend’s daughter and son-in-law decided to tell the entire story. In Jared Cade’s book, Agatha Christie and the Eleven Missing Days, he tells Agatha’s story.

This sounds like a great mystery! Since I know nothing about Agatha, I'm going to take a wild guess at the questions and hope I get some of them right!

Hi Nancy,
Thanks for trying the quiz. Your selections for questions 1 and 4 were correct!
Cade's book does read like a great mystery. Also, there was a movie with Dustin Hoffman and Vanessa Redgrave, filmed in 1979, which tells the story of Agatha's disappearance. The account surrounding the disappearance is fictional, but it is a fun movie nonetheless. The title is simply "Agatha."
