Agatha Christie, pawn or puppet-master? For eleven days in December 1926, that was the question all of England was asking. Was she kidnapped, or possibly a pawn trapped in an international mystery? Or could she actually be the puppet-master, secretly manipulating an entire nation from behind her typewriter? Did one of the most disciplined writing minds the world has ever known really just “black out,” only to somehow reappear eleven days later, feeble and disorientated at a spa hotel? And what really was written in her missing diary regarding those eleven mysterious days? Through a weaving of facts and fiction, the adventure unfolds through the perspective of her governess, Charlotte “Carlo” Fisher. Having accepted the role of confidante to the great writer, and ignited by the receipt of a mysterious letter, Charlotte embarks on a sinister and harrowing quest. In her exploits, Charlotte is aided by many of the famous and elite of the twentieth century. While Sir Arthur Conan Doyle and his protégé, Ian Fleming, speed towards Istanbul on the Orient Express in search of Agatha’s diary, Charlotte discovers clues that dispatch her to Berlin where she stumbles into a world gone mad. Mysterious societies emerge from the shadows, and it appears something dark is rising...

By Roses are Amber Silence and Circumstance is mystery set around the eleven days in December 1926 that Agatha Christie mysteriously disappeared. Roy Dimond weaves a story around what could have happened in those eleven days when the world waited for answers. Told through the eyes of Charlotte Fisher, English governess to the Christie household, the tale begins with the arrival of a letter and a huge family row.The Christie's live in a house in Sunningdale, Berkshire. Agatha persuades "Carlo" as Charlotte is known, to travel to London on her behalf and attend an urgent meeting. When she returns home the household is empty and the police arrive to announce that Mrs Christie has gone missing.With the help of many, many famous characters from the world of literature and art they begin a quest to find a missing diary. Mixed with this is Carlo's introduction to various secret associations of modern artists and thinkers who are trying to bend the future of man towards enlightenment and insight. They warn of the dictators and tyrants of the world who wish to take over the free will of the people.The style of the writing is a meandering, twisting and turning of the reader's mind creating a great long mystery with its unravelling of clues and ultimate finale. I did have several issues with the language which hampered my enjoyment of the book, this was December 1926, England. I would have felt happier with handbags, not purses, gardens not yards, promenades not boardwalks, streets not blocks, streams not creeks, no Zebra crossings yet, it's too cold in December for nearly all butterflies. We take milk more commonly with our tea not cream. I question trains running at midnight from London and taking until late afternoon to reach Sunningdale only a short distance away and we always spell “gray” with an "e" in England.This review is based on a free copy of the book given to me by the author.

The second World War brews in the not-so-distant future, threatening to wipe out all semblance of independent thought and imagination. And a motley assortment of artists, intellectuals, authors, and other like-minded individuals stand in the gap between the total annihilation of the crucial importance of words and thoughts to culture, and the preservation of the same.When one of the leading intellectuals --- none other than famed mystery writer Agatha Christie herself --- vanishes, the others, including Sir Arthur Conan Doyle, John Steinbeck, Ernest Hemingway, Dorothy Sayers, and many others, fear foul play and leap immediately to solve her disappearance before it's too late.The mystery novel SILENCE AND CIRCUMSTANCE by Roy Dimond is a remarkable work of historical fiction based in fact and peopled with an unbelievably diverse cast of (for the most part) actual historical figures, such as the aforementioned, along with D.H. Lawrence, C.S. Lewis, J.R.R. Tolkien, Ian Fleming, and more.The work is largely narrated in the first-person perspective of Agatha Christie's daughter Rosalind's governess, Charlotte Fisher, who finds herself unwittingly involved when a confidential errand for her employer turns into an adventure that spans eleven days of that same employer having gone missing entirely. Others of the more prominent intellectuals feature as perspective characters periodically throughout.The amount of research that under-girds the mysterious goings-on in the novel is staggering, and author Dimond is to be commended for such substance and authenticity in rendering the historical characters who make up his work. Every so often, there is an occasional line of dialogue, internal thought, or descriptor that doesn't really seem to belong, accurately, in the year 1926, but for the most part, the setting is richly devised.Perhaps the most compelling aspect of the mystery, however, is in the incredible cast of characters, each with his or her own respective quirks, preferences, beliefs, and contributions to the forward momentum of the story. Widely read readers will recognize without hesitation the real-life authors and artists of some of their most beloved novels and paintings, in particular, though scientists and other intellectuals also feature as a matter of course.Unique, unexpected, suspenseful, SILENCE AND CIRCUMSTANCE will delight those who love historical fiction, mysteries, other cultures, and timeless works of art.# # #Author: Roy DimondTitle: SILENCE AND CIRCUMSTANCEASIN: B00USHIS8QPurchase here: http://amzn.to/1HM20PFDisclaimer: I received a complimentary copy of this work from the author in exchange for an honest, though not necessarily positive, review.

For anyone who loves the period between World Wars, and the great artists and writers of that period: this book is a real treat. The book speculates what happened during the 11 days that Agatha Christie went missing in 1926, and search that went on to find her.Charlotte Fisher, nanny to Agatha’s daughter and her friend, is the narrator of the book. In the novel, we are introduced to a collection of artistic royalty from the period all trying to solve riddle of Agatha’s disappearance. John Steinbeck, Arthur Conan Doyle, Dashiell Hammett, Ernest Hemingway, to name just a few, all join the search which spans all of Europe, and of course, involves a ride on the Orient Express.Charlotte’s voice seemed real and spot-on for the period, and we are pulled like her as innocents into Agatha’s disappearance and experience events as she does. We share her fear, astonishment, and confusion. We also get to see great authors and artists as people, not as the giants and cultural icons that they become later.This book was a journey, almost an amusement park theme ride featuring the figures and events of late 1920s. The looming threat of another war was something you could feel throughout the novel. along with the desperation and urgency of the people trying to do something to stop it.“Silence and Circumstance” will not disappoint anyone who loves this period in history, and also loves a good mystery. It is one of the best books I have read this year.
