Description
Some people want to be fooled…
1920s, London
Agatha Christie, the famous detective writer, is struggling to come to terms with her divorce. So much so that she can barely bring herself to say the word.
To add to her despondency, she can’t shake off the cutting words of a recent critic… utterly unlikely… a plot like clockwork…
Her friends rally around and encourage her to get out of the house, meet up with friends, go to the theatre…
Reluctantly, she attends a variety show with an old friend, and following a dramatic and violent turn of events at the theatre, discovers that life can, and does in fact, imitate art.
Perhaps she can find a new style…
Her musings lead her to her own investigations to uncover the truth behind the ‘facts’, and in doing so, she must face her own demons.
Death in Disguise is a whodunnit with an introspective slant, creating false realities whilst revealing the truth, in a fantastic smoke and mirrors mystery novel…
It is the third book instalment in the Agatha Christie Investigates series, following on from Murder Will Out and Hidden Sins.
Praise for Alison Joseph
'Fascinating and complicated...' – Val McDermid
‘Wickedly clever - written with a sharp eye and elan. Guaranteed to make every Agatha Christie fan smile.’ – Peter James
‘Christie herself is the fulcrum of this highly diverting piece, delivered with all the quirky skill that is Joseph’s trademark.’ – Barry Forshaw, Crime Time.
Death in Disguise has not been authorised by Agatha Christie Ltd, and it is a book about Agatha Christie, not by her.

She is the author of the series of novels featuring Sister Agnes, a contemporary detective nun based in South London, and has written numerous plays for radio, including the adaptations of Simenon's Inspector Maigret series broadcast on BBC Radio 4.
