“An absolute marvel.”
— Kristin Hannah, #1 bestselling author
Every story has its secrets.
Every mystery has its motives.
It’s a particular feeling, the urge to murder…
The Christie Affair
Nina de Gramont’s The Christie Affair is a beguiling novel of star-crossed lovers, heartbreak, revenge, and murder—and a brilliant re-imagination of one of the most talked-about unsolved mysteries of the twentieth century.
The greatest mystery wasn’t Agatha Christie’s disappearance in those eleven infamous days, it’s what she discovered.
London, 1925: In a world of townhomes and tennis matches, socialites and shooting parties, Miss Nan O’Dea became Archie Christie’s mistress, luring him away from his devoted and well-known wife, Agatha Christie. The question is, why? Why destroy another woman’s marriage, why hatch a plot years in the making, and why murder?

Book Reviews
THE CHRISTIE AFFAIR:
“[A} murder mystery worthy of the dame herself… Devilishly clever, elegantly composed and structured—simply splendid.”
Kirkus reviews (starred review)
The Last September:
“With an artist’s eye and a poet’s heart, de Gramont realizes a world of love, mystery, and the shattering sorrow of mental illness, deceit, hope, and lives cut short. Impossible to put down.”
Library Journal (Starred Review)
Gossip of The Starlings:
“The kind of smart and riveting read that fans of a certain kind of campus drama – think Donna Tartt’s The Secret History – will devour…There’s romance, betrayal, a gorgeous scholarship boy, and a spot-on rendering of the queasy regret you sometimes feel when friends from separate orbit meet. Grab this one and share it with your teenage daughter.”
People
The Boy I Love:
“Wren’s voice transforms the potential teen dramafest into a nuanced reflection on gaining independence through the pursuit of individual interests and demonstration of concern for the well-being of others… While not romantic, Wren and Tim’s relationship becomes another powerful iteration of the book’s message that ‘[l]ove is love,’ and all loves deserve respect.”
Kirkus Reviews
Every Little Thing in the World:
“Nina de Gramont’s novel (Atheneum, 2010) offers an authentic, sensitive snapshot of late adolescence and raises thought-provoking questions regarding pregnancy, sex, abuse, drugs, and other teen issues. She masterfully captures hope amidst angst and has a surprise at the end of the story.”
School Library Journal (An ALA Best Book for Young Adults)
The Distance From Me to You:
“Readers will enjoy the compelling, well-paced depiction of the adventure and lore of the AT, and they will be glad to find such a tough-minded, capable heroine in a realistic novel.”
Bulletin of the Center for Children’s Books (A Junior Library Guild Selection and optioned for a movie starring Sabrina Carpenter)
