Stage plays, movies and TV adaptations based on Agatha's works have been staged in turn around the world and endure for a long time.
During her life she wrote many treacherous and varied cases.
But few people know that she also has a mystery comparable to a novel "fascinating".
In December 1926, she disappeared dramatically for 11 days.
Her disappearance became a sensational news at the time, causing a national sensation.
The British police dispatched 500 police detectives, with police dogs, to conduct a large-scale search in the bushes and salvage bodies in ponds.
The British "Daily Mail" and "New York Times" have published front-page headlines one after another, reporting Agatha's disappearance at length, and various speculations such as suicide and homicide are rampant.
Eleven days later, on December 14, Agatha was found in a hotel at a spa resort, checking in with her husband's lover's surname.
People are waiting for the truth of these 11 days, but Agatha, who is safe and sound, claimed that she lost her memory and said that she would never mention the story.
This experience has become the past of Agatha Christie's life, and the reason for her sudden disappearance is still an unsolved mystery.
Now, after nearly a hundred years, this experience has been put on the big screen, revealing what Grandma did in those 11 days——
"Agatha and the Truth of Murder"
The film restores some of Agatha's experiences before her disappearance.
For example, her husband cheated and wanted to divorce, but she insisted on disagreeing, and her writing also encountered a bottleneck.
Just as she was full of anxiety, a fan came to her house for help.
She said her name was Mabel , a former war nurse, and she wanted to ask Agatha to help her solve an unsolved case.
Six years ago, her same-sex partner Florence was killed on a train, but the killer has never been caught.
Agatha refused at first. Although she has written a lot of mystery novels, she is not a policeman or a detective after all.
But when she was bored at night, Agatha flipped through the unsolved cases left by Mabel, and the more she read, the more interested she became.
She went to Mabel's home late at night to learn more about the case.
Agatha learned from Mabel that Florence did not like to take trains during her lifetime.
So, sit in the corner of the last car every time.
On the day of the crime, her box was occupied by a woman, and Florence had no choice but to go to the next compartment.
Then, Florence was beaten to death.
Through the police investigation, it was determined that the man in the brown suit sitting opposite Florence was the murderer.
But no one knew his appearance, identity, or even his gender.
There are too many uncertain factors, and the murderer has not been caught.
After listening to Mabel's description, Agatha decided to do her a favor, but also wanted to take this opportunity to create new writing inspiration.
Following her own routine, she wrote letters to notify five people related to the case.
Inform their distant relatives that there is an inheritance that they need to come to inherit.
After all, no one can live with money.
Then find an abandoned mansion, Mabel plays the maid, and she herself is the investigator of the estate.
In this way, five unrelated people gathered in the mansion, and some even brought their family members.
Each of these five people is suspected of killing Florence.
"The Bald Man" Randolph , Florence's cousin, inherited the other's trust estate after Florence's death.
And he doesn't like Mabel, and will always be against two people falling in love.
When his cousin died, he was the first to profit, and he was the primary suspect whether it was for money or love.
"Little Curly" Zaki Hannage, a homeless man Florence previously cared for.
He pestered Florence until she was killed, and Mabel speculated that he might also want money.
The police also deduced that Florence's death should be a robbery and murder, so the little curly hair couldn't get away from it.
"Blonde" Daphne , who was also a nurse, lost a little boy because of an error.
If Florence reported the incident, her career would be basically ruined.
She is also very likely to "kill and kill" in order to keep her job.
Travis Pigfield, a rascal whom Florence saved before.
He was also arrested by the police as a "suspect", but he was released because of insufficient evidence.
There is also "Elegant Woman" Mrs. Rose , Florence rescued her son, but the two have never met.
In order to express her gratitude, she invited Florence to be a guest at her house, and also asked Florence's train number and seat number to be picked up.
Unexpectedly, before the people arrived, the tragedy happened.
Florence wouldn't have taken that train without her invitation. Was this Mrs. Rose's intention?
Then came the moment of acting.
She called the blonde girl first, and the blonde girl came with her father.
During the conversation, Agatha discovers that the blonde's father is a manipulative man.
Agatha felt that he was also suspicious, and maybe he killed Florence in order to protect her daughter.
But unexpectedly, while Agatha was thinking, a gunshot came from the ancient house.
The blonde's father was shot.
An unsolved case has yet to be resolved, and yet another murder case has emerged.
The murderer must be in the middle, but why did the murderer kill the blonde girl's father?
Are their father and daughter hiding some unknown secret?
As the investigation deepened, Agatha found that Mabel did not seem to be as frank as she imagined...
Who is the murderer?
Although the whole film is a fictional work, the whole brain hole is actually quite a bit of grandma's mystery novel charm.
Grandma's works always win with typical characters.
She never rushes to reason about the real murderer, but uses the role in shaping.
In this way, a complex social background and a profound group portrait of characters are constructed.
This time, "grandma" is the protagonist and she is turned into a "detective" in a murder case.
Through the perspective of the protagonist, we can see that each image is rich, full and deeply rooted.
The whole story is told with ups and downs and full of suspense.
When the truth emerges, you will find that everyone in the story seems innocent, but they are unforgivable.
This is the most thought-provoking place.
For an ordinary person, disappearing for 11 days is nothing but a woman's escape and healing after being hurt by love.
But for a "celebrity" like Granny, it is inevitable that they will be endowed with a mysterious color by the world.
Some things are in the past and there is no way to make up for them.
If you hold on to your obsessions, you will only hurt others and yourself in the end.
Many people have been skeptical of Granny's claim that she has "amnesia", but in the opinion of Mr. Pumpkin, those may not be the most important.
Some things, the best way is to reconcile with yourself, and her way is to remain silent for life.
