Jordan Kelly has just graduated with a masters degree in English. With her prospects of a PhD fading and her former boyfriend maxing out her credit cards, she is in desperate need of a job and a place to live. She answers an ad for a live in position for the wealthiest woman in her small hometown.

She is told to search for an unknown, unnamed screen play by Agatha Christie. Supposedly written during the time Dame Agatha disappeared, Jordan is having a hard time getting any information. When she learns that the former assistant died while trying to trace the screen play, Jordan takes certain precautions.

Next a rare book seller is found dead and everyone suspects Jordan of killing her. Jordan sets out to see if the manuscript exists and who is killing off the people who might help her with the find.

THE CHRISTIE CURSE is a marvelous read. Jordan and her uncles are such unique, enjoyable characters that I really didn't want to put it down. The authors (yes, there has to be more than one because the introduction says we) have created such diverse characters for this book that it makes the reader wonder who they might meet next. The humor in THE CHRISTIE CURSE is fairly low key but with a bit of snark that is entertaining. Even better, the mystery was really good. There were just enough complications to the investigations that kept my interest high. I will look forward to more by the authors and pray that they include Jordan in them.
