One moment I was laughing with my sister at a Women’s Appreciation event… and hours later, I was fighting for my life in a hospital bed, weak, septic, and unaware of how close I was to losing everything.

In this psychological mystery, Dr. Carole Owens, a practicing psychotherapist, takes on Agatha Christie as a patient to diagnose her problem and at long last solve the mystery of The Last Days of Agatha Christie.
