A review by judelon
Destination Unknown by Agatha Christie
3.0
I found myself wondering who came to talk Agatha Christie off the hotel room ledge in the 1920s, because apparently this and one of her Mary Westmacott books start with a similar scenario. I wondered just how annoying Dame Christie found her second husband and his intellectual circle.
Overall, I enjoyed this book very much, even when it seemed a little fantastical. One of the most interesting aspects was the idea of male-on-female intellectual property theft--not a matter of wide concern in the 1950s, you wouldn't think. I was also entertained by the notion that all these brainy, ideological types were co-opted by the same pitch, without sharing a single notion.
