I'm traveling right now so I will have captions up by this weekend, apologies for the delay! Time Stamps: 1:25 Who is Agatha? 4:14 ~tangent~ 6:19 The Disappearance 8:59 The Investigation 11:46 The Letters 16:00 Finding Agatha 21:01 Theories 30:45 Final Thoughts
Wow Agatha was like “it’s not enough that I wrote some of the greatest mysteries of all time, I’ma BE one of the greatest mysteries of all time,” no choice but to stan
Honestly, considering how much of a badass she was, I feel like she might have just done it herself for shits 'n giggles. (Edit: tho my own theory is that she just had a friggin' breakdown)
This was SO INTERESTING!!!! I had no idea about any of Agatha Christie's life story. What an amazing woman. To me it sounds like she may have started out trying to get away or humiliate her husband, but then possibly slipped into a dissociative fugue state. This state includes a type of amnesia, which would make her forget her identity and assume a completely different identity in a strange and different place. This may even last from months to years, but people usually recover "on their own". Pretty sure this is an actual APA DSM V diagnosis. I don't think assuming a different and novel identity would preclude her from mailing the letter to her brother, taking the name of the mistress might even be considered an unconscious symptom, and going through with a plan, which she might have come up with prior to slipping into the fugue state (like going to a spa somewhere) could also happen. Finally this would explain why she never talked about it, because once recovering from the fugue state and reverted back to her actual identity, she would most likely have suffered amnesia once again. This time the amnesia would be restricted/limited to the time when she was in the fugue state. She would have normal recollections regarding the time prior the initial onset, but nothing from the time during the fugue. It would have seemed to her, as if the time of the fugue had never happened. en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fugue_state#:~:text=Dissociative%20fugue%2C%20formerly%20fugue%20state,last%20days%2C%20months%20or%20longer.
Her saying she feared for her life could have been a cry for help or a reference to planning her future suicide. Regardless of the story/mystery, I'm glad she overcame the darkness or whatever it was. It truly would have been an enormous loss to the world.
Cari! This is such a great video! This must have been what you were talking about when you were saying you were inspired and doing some research for an upcoming booktube video. The presentation, pacing, editing, visuals, the energy, the whole shebang!-loved it! Would love to see more stuff like this :)
And then there were none was my first encounter with Agatha I then got addicted to Miss Marple and Poirot. This was so well researched !I had no idea she went missing !! Small creator here 🖐
I grew up watching the David Suchet Poirot mysteries on tv and had no idea about this part of Agatha's life. You have to figure she was under a lot of pressure in this situation, and she had the mind and the means to plan an escape. But maybe she thought about her daughter, or someone talked her out of it, and figured she couldn't just leave so just ended up being incognito for ten days and sticking it to her husband while she was at it. Fascinating story, though
I love Agatha and her work ; and making a video about the mysteries revolving around her life and especially the end was awesome. I'm reading The A.B.C. murders right now, next will be Death on the Nile.
Oh my this was so entertaining!! My mom's obsessed with Agatha Christie so I grew up with Miss Marple and Poirot, but I never knew her personal life was just as interesting as her stories! 😮
I loved this Video. I read a long time ago about this story but completely forgot it happened. Did you know she hated writing her Hercule Poirot stories but the public loved the Belgian detective so much she felt pressure to continue his adventures. First time I noticed those wonderful earrings. Very fitting for the time period the disappearing of Agatha happened in. Thank you for your work and research.
Omg i didnt know that hahha i always preferred miss marple so maybe agatha channeled some bad energy into hercule that my subconscious picked up on hahaha
This was so fascinating and the effort on the video yess girll *chefs kiss*! I love that gone girl energy agtha was going for and chilling in a hotel, i love that for her !👌🌞
I LOOOOVED THIS VIDEO! I can't believe I knew nothing of Agatha Christie, and this reignites my desire to read her novels (I have one on my shelf). I feel like there is no way that she suffered from amnesia, I think she may have been in a depressed or manic state, BUT considering she traveled safely, brought money, and wrote that letter to her brother??? Agatha Christie must have known exactly what she was doing, and I like to think this is something she wanted people to always wonder about her.
car i don't normally watch videos relating to crime and mystery, but your video was so good. and i really enjoyed and appreciated it, i was engaged throughout the whole video!
I really enjoyed this! Cari's youthful love for the Joan Hickson Miss Marple series is like my love for the Derek Jacobi Cadfael series. My introduction to this story was via Agatha Christie: A life in pictures, starring Olivia Williams. I totally misheard when Cari said Sunningdale, I heard Sunnydale and immediately wanted to joke, hey, maybe Agatha was off fighting vampires! As much as I love the Dr who episode about Agatha Christie, my favourite episode referencing literary greats has to be The Haunting of Villa Diodati, "Nobody mention Frankenstein. Nobody interfere. Nobody snog Byron". * Cari, your earrings are so pretty!
Oooh I love me a good mystery. Loving these types of videos, Cari! Meanwhile, Imma get me some Agatha Christie books (I've only read a couple but I enjoyed them) 😊
In the pandemic, I started reading a lot of Agatha's books and I absolutely love her writing style and stories. I didn't know that she dissappeared, that's very interesting. I liked that kind of video and would love to see more of them 💕
I loved this video so much. It was so interesting! Please, if you can, do more of these 😭 I'm going to show this one to my mom. She's been loving Agatha's novels lately (even named our new cat Agatha lol). And YES, Sir Arthur believed in spiritism. I read somewhere that he was very interested in this and after the death of his son he inmersed even more in this subject.
I just auditioned for Vera in a local production of And Then There Were None and not even 24 hours later you upload a video on Agatha Christie? Coincidence? I think not!
“Margo always loved mysteries. And in everything that came afterward, I could never stop thinking that maybe she loved mysteries so much that she became one.”
This was such a cool video. And although I knew all of this already you tell it in a really interesting and engaging way. (Okay, the surfing bit I didn't know and I love it!) So, if you have more topics you could make into this kind of videos I wouldn't mind. :)
This is an insane coincidence because today for an AP euro assignment we had to pick a European mystery to do a project on and I chose this... I’m actually shook. Also, she’s my favorite author ever so it was interesting
This video was a LOT of fun and super cool! I have loved Agatha's novels since I was little, so this felt super special 😊. Also, Cari... Your earrings are gorgeous! Where are they from? I usually call that type of earring "Queen Earrings" since they seem fit for a queen 🤭
i loved this more pleaseeee hehe . i don't think I've ever read any of her works so I'm missing on that (but idk cause english to spanish translations do vary like titles so maybe I've heard of them) but what a story im also glad that, you know, she was famous and her work was recognized back then and well till this day she is. way to agatha ♡♡
Love this video! I read a fictional account of what Agatha did in those 11 days. She was caught up in helping a killer.. The book was good and I see it recommended in a lot of reading lists.
OMG !!! can we make this a regular thing where you talk about mysteries or interesting anecdotes around authors and books??? P.S : You are amazing at this stuff :)
I'm traveling right now so I will have captions up by this weekend, apologies for the delay!

Wow Agatha was like “it’s not enough that I wrote some of the greatest mysteries of all time, I’ma BE one of the greatest mysteries of all time,” no choice but to stan
exactly!!!
I never knew she disappeared but given her occupation it just makes you wonder about life's ironies.
exactly!! the queen of mysterious disappearances mysteriously disappeared
Honestly, considering how much of a badass she was, I feel like she might have just done it herself for shits 'n giggles.
(Edit: tho my own theory is that she just had a friggin' breakdown)
"She loved mysteries so much that she became one." My favorite thriller may be based on the life of my favorite author... This blows my mind so much!
🥰🙏
And Then There Were None is one of my favorite books of all time!
a CLASSIC!!!
Oh yessss. This is my jam. Agatha Christie with a Doctor Who reference... I'm here. I'm ready.
heheh i had no idea they did an episode on it until researching for this vid :')
@@caricanread It was a weird one.. I have no idea what kind of stimulants the writers were on, but I remember there was a good poisoning scene
I didn’t know that she disappeared lol. This is really interesting.
Thanks for watching!

yessss i totally agree with this!!!
😀 cool
Her saying she feared for her life could have been a cry for help or a reference to planning her future suicide. Regardless of the story/mystery, I'm glad she overcame the darkness or whatever it was. It truly would have been an enormous loss to the world.
🙏🙏🙏
This is actually a high school presentation I did to kill my social status... it worked. I have no regrets.
hahahahhhahaa

This was so good! I love how you summarize and present things! Would love to see more videos like this :)
Thank you!! It was fun to make :)
Oh yeeeeah a story about Agatha Christie, I'm so here for it!! 🤩

I am absolutely imagining this as an episode of Drunk History (lip-synced-actors included)
heheh there actually is one!!
ruclips.net/video/Ck5NUPMFHAk/видео.html
posted from the wrong account oops haha
Loving that Gone Girl energy, she’s so great ✨😂

I once read somewhere that she disappeared, but I never researched the case myself. Such a cool video, Cari, please do more of them!
Thank you!

The fact that you used a clip from Blank Space is just hilarious. Love the video, you did a great research work 👏🏻
I love Agatha and her work ; and making a video about the mysteries revolving around her life and especially the end was awesome. I'm reading The A.B.C. murders right now, next will be Death on the Nile.

Thank you! And yeah i hope she had a good rest 🥲
A very very creative idea. Love Agatha Christie and I am so glad you've talked of her.

Why did I not really know about this? I've enjoyed what I've read of her and am about to read Murder on the Orient Express for school.

P.S. I love how you put it "She kept this one [mystery] for herself."
Love this episode, need more. 👍
Thank you 🙏
This is the best thing ive watched in a long time. Love you!!
Thank you so much ahhhh!!!
This is an amazing idea, I love it

Thank you!!!
Very good job, Cari! This was so exciting and interesting! 👌👌👌
I really love your speaking skills and your narration, I adore listening to you, please make this some kind of a series with other interesting stories
I really enjoyed this!
Cari's youthful love for the Joan Hickson Miss Marple series is like my love for the Derek Jacobi Cadfael series.

Oooh I love me a good mystery. Loving these types of videos, Cari! Meanwhile, Imma get me some Agatha Christie books (I've only read a couple but I enjoyed them) 😊
🙏🙏🙏
We need a podcast like this made by you! Great video!
8 months later and I just saw a BoTM pick called The Christie Affair which talked about this same topic. This is so intriguing
this video was such a cool idea and I learnt so much!! thanks Cari :D
Thank you for watching 😍
Hope you do more of these type of videos, really liked your approach and narrative.
This was fascinating! Love these types of videos!
thank you so much!
Love this content, love this lighting, LOVE YOU!!!
🥺😭🥺😭 thank you!!
Thank you for this interesting video! I got to watch it with my son, who read his first Agatha Christie novel for school this past year. 🙂
i wish the video was longer, i can go on listening to cari's "storytelling" all day
In the pandemic, I started reading a lot of Agatha's books and I absolutely love her writing style and stories. I didn't know that she dissappeared, that's very interesting. I liked that kind of video and would love to see more of them 💕

Hi Cari! This was a great video, I was totally hooked! Please make more of these (although I expect it’s a lot of work)!
As someone who lives in Istanbul, this is one of my favourite historic events.
OMG BOOKS, AUTHORS AND MISTERY AND CRIME!!! I LOVE IT!!!
YESSS!
@@caricanread Pleaseee make more videos like this!! I love your videos!
Omg, this video was amazing!! Kept me on the edge of my seat saying "oh no she didn't" the entire time 😂
😂😂😂
So so interesting and definitely mysterious. Love this video 👍🏻❤️
I just auditioned for Vera in a local production of And Then There Were None and not even 24 hours later you upload a video on Agatha Christie? Coincidence? I think not!
omg i love coincidences like that!!! hope the production goes well^^
This video was fantastic! I'd love it if you did more like this one
Thank youuuuuu 💗
this reminds me SO MUCH of the doctor who episode about Agatha Christie omg
yes its based off of this exactly!!
I only learned this last year! I was reading a lot of Christie and Wodehouse while being stuck home so much. Really interesting!
I found out about it from the movie based on it just a few years ago too!!
Oh gosh! I need more Booktube Unsolved episodes!
🥰🙏
completely off topic but I'm starting the shadowhunters books for the first time (I'm very behind, I know.) wish me luck!
omg LUCK!
I loved this video and this type of storytelling content. I'm here for it anytime you want to make another one about absolutely anything hahaha
“Margo always loved mysteries. And in everything that came afterward, I could never stop thinking that maybe she loved mysteries so much that she became one.”
ugh i LOVED this!! agatha christie is a queen
Just bought two new Agatha Christie books yesterday from the second hand so this video has perfect timing. 😁♥️
Omg 😍😍😍
This was such a cool video. And although I knew all of this already you tell it in a really interesting and engaging way. (Okay, the surfing bit I didn't know and I love it!) So, if you have more topics you could make into this kind of videos I wouldn't mind. :)
thank you!! and omg yeah the surfing threw me!!
Agatha is a genius. Moral of the story.
This is an insane coincidence because today for an AP euro assignment we had to pick a European mystery to do a project on and I chose this... I’m actually shook. Also, she’s my favorite author ever so it was interesting
The fact that u used clips from Blankspace and Daj vu warmed my heart.
I LOVED THIS VIDEO!!! If you would make other videos like these, I Would Eat It Up!!
Thank you 😭😭😭
Wonderful vlog, you got me riveted. Thank you!
Thanks for watching!!
This video was a LOT of fun and super cool! I have loved Agatha's novels since I was little, so this felt super special 😊.
Also, Cari... Your earrings are gorgeous! Where are they from? I usually call that type of earring "Queen Earrings" since they seem fit for a queen 🤭
Thank you!! I got them a few years ago at a korean accessory shop and they reminded me of queen Elizabeth I hahhaha
This was so good! It will be cool to have a series of videos about diferent authors! Agatha was such a queen!! :)
omg 32 mins of cari content yes pls
Thoroughly enjoyed watching this video,so interesting, so well structured and narrated. Also, your resemblance to Amy Adams is just uncanny🤯
i loved this more pleaseeee hehe . i don't think I've ever read any of her works so I'm missing on that (but idk cause english to spanish translations do vary like titles so maybe I've heard of them) but what a story im also glad that, you know, she was famous and her work was recognized back then and well till this day she is. way to agatha ♡♡
Love this video! I read a fictional account of what Agatha did in those 11 days. She was caught up in helping a killer.. The book was good and I see it recommended in a lot of reading lists.
Can you tell me the name? It sounds really good!
I think it's called "a talent for murder" by Andrew Wilson
Thank you!
Ohhhhh adding this to my list!!!
This is my new favorite video! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
OMG !!! can we make this a regular thing where you talk about mysteries or interesting anecdotes around authors and books???
P.S : You are amazing at this stuff :)
I would loooove to 😍😍
I loved watching this it’s so interesting! U should do more x
