Blurb
It is June, 1925. Agatha Christie is holidaying in Cornwall and working on a new novel, a romance. But her plans are interrupted when one of the guests is found shot dead on the hotel tennis courts. Frederick Collyer was researching the life of a local man, an eminent chemist who worked on camouflage. As Agatha is drawn into the investigation, it becomes clear that the killing has its roots in the Great War, and the truth is obscured by the shadows it still casts.

Throwback
Both hinge on the past reaching into the present, but this trades a wartime murder plot for a light, funny mother-daughter time-travel romance.
How to Write a Love Story
Also about a writer wrestling with a romance manuscript and a family secret, but contemporary YA and warm rather than a wartime murder case.
And Then We Ran
Keeps the seed's secret-driven plotting and British voice, but swaps period sleuthing for a light teen road trip with a budding romance.
