For this week's Can't Wait Wednesday, hosted by Tressa at Wishful Endings, I'm featuring, The Case of the Christie Conspiracy, by Kelly Oliver. I have really enjoyed her Fiona Figg series which are light hearted but well written cozy mysteries set during WWI. She has decided to take a whole new direction with this series by making Agatha Christie the suspect in the story. I'm not sure how it will turn out but it sure is an interesting premise. I hope you've found something you can't wait to read this week! Happy Reading ya'll!

Book Description courtesy of GoodReads:
Agatha Christie is about to embark on a new, gripping murder case. But this time, she’s not the author – she’s a suspect…
1926 – Christie is a darling of the literary circuit and the most desired guest in London’s glittering social scene. She can often be found at meetings of the Detection Club – where mystery writers come together to share ideas, swap secrets and drink copiously. But then a fellow author's initiation ceremony takes a gruesome turn, and one of the group ends up dead. Now, Agatha is no longer just the creator of great mystery plots – she’s a player in one.
And when Agatha disappears the day after the murder, she’s widely assumed to be guilty. Only Eliza Baker, assistant to the Club’s enigmatic secretary, Dorothy Sayers, is interested in investigating the case. But in a world where murder is the ultimate plot device, can Eliza piece together the evidence and find the killer before it’s too late?
