Dee-Brief: The Mysterious Disappearance of Agatha Christie

A Christmas bonus mini! Dee revisits the real-life riddle that once gripped Britain: Agatha Christie’s 11-day disappearance in December 1926. We trace Christie’s early life and rise to 'Queen of Mystery', the personal crises that preceded her vanishing, the nationwide manhunt (with Arthur Conan Doyle and Dorothy L. Sayers in the mix), her reappearance at Harrogate’s Swan Hydropathic Hotel under the name 'Mrs. Teresa Neele'… and the theories that still swirl: amnesia, nervous collapse, publicity stunt, or something else?
