Unfinished Portrait

By Agatha Christie and Mary Westmacott

Book Overview

"Agatha Christie, famous for her ingenious crime novels, also wrote about crimes of the heart. Written under the pseudonym Mary Westmacott, Christie's tales of romantic suspense further explore the human psychology she was so intrigued by, freed from the expectations of her mystery fans. Bereft of the three people she has held most dear--her mother, her husband and her daughter--Celia is on the verge of suicide. Then one night on an exotic island, she meets Larraby, a successful portrait painter. Through a long night of talk, she reveals she is afraid to commit herself to a second chance at happiness with another person, yet is not brave enough to face life alone. Can Larraby help Celia come to terms with the past, or will they part ways, her outcome still uncertain?"--

Unfinished Portrait by Mary Westmacott

I found this book to be both exciting and enchanting. Agatha Christie, as Mary Westmacott, diverges from writing mystery novels to taking a poignant look at the human spirit. As Christie writes this intriguing tale, we see Celia's world unfold before us with many unexpected turns to follow. This book is definitely one to get especially for the romantics at heart.
