Trivia

Despite the opening card stating that the details of Christie's disappearance have never been revealed, it is now known that she fled to a spa in the country after the trauma of learning that her husband was leaving her. The incident was not mentioned by Christie in her autobiography and her family hushed it up at the time to avoid a scandal.

Mixed Feelings

Why impose the "f" word on this otherwise good tale. "Bloody" sounds much more appropriate for 1920s Britain.
