LADY GAME Nina de Gramont is the author of eight books — four for young adult readers and four for adults — but her latest novel, “The Christie Affair,” is her first DailyExpertNews bestseller. “If this had happened when I was 25, I would think it meant I was really brilliant,” she said in a telephone interview. “It happens when I’m 55, I know it means I’m really lucky. So I certainly appreciate it.”

In ‘The Christie Affair’, de Gramont investigates the events surrounding the puzzling 11-day disappearance of Agatha Christie in 1926. The case made international headlines, including a handful in this paper: ‘Mrs. Agatha Christie, novelist, disappears from her home in England,” “500 Police and Planes Search for Mrs. Christie” and “Mrs. Found Christie in a spa in Yorkshire.”

In 2015, before reading any of Christie’s novels, de Gramont learned of her disappearance from an article on a true-crime website. She said: “The detail that made me want to write a novel about it — which started a story taking shape — was that she had used the surname of her husband’s mistress to check in at the hotel.”

In real life, Colonel Archibald Christie’s girlfriend was Nancy Neele, whom he later married; in ‘The Christie Affair’ she is Nan O’Dea, an Irish woman with a tragic backstory. De Gramont worked on the book intermittently for five years while teaching writing at the University of North Carolina Wilmington. There was a period when she felt overwhelmed by the project, so she set it aside to write another novel, one that never sold. “I am in the habit of doing that,” said de Gramont. “I’ve started a book, I’ve written about 100, 150 pages, and then I just get overwhelmed. In this case it just felt like I’m American, I live in the 21st century, I don’t know enough, I can’t do this.” When De Gramont found her way back to Christie’s story, her attitude was, “I’m going to give this writing another chance, and if this book doesn’t sell, I’ll stop.”
