1926. In the library of an English manor, a panicked Agatha Christie bursts in, breathless. Champagne glasses litter the floor and secrets hang thick in the air. Days later, nationwide headlines trumpet: the Queen of Crime is missing! 2026. Lucy, a spirited and impulsively reckless American, crashes a Christie festival in search of meaning (and maybe a decent cocktail). When she finds a clue to the great writer’s disappearance 100 years earlier, she becomes obsessed. Blending hilarity and suspense, Mrs. Christie asks: who has the power to rewrite their own destiny?
