Whether it was a mental health lapse or a calculated move to humiliate her philandering husband, it certainly had that effect.
Now imagine combining this idea with the recent CEO and HR affair that was discovered on the Coldplay kiss-cam.
First he's publicly caught cheating and then his wife diappears? Foul play is assumed by the public.
Meanwhile she's having the time of her life at Hedonism II in Jamaica.
A great 'best revenge' story.

Brilliant! She might even leave some clues. Signs of a fight. A bloody knife ... . That would be the epitome of a loving wife.

Coincidentally, I just got back from a week at Hedonism II! Had a blast. Didn't see Agatha there, though.

Plenty of books on that particular episode of the great AC's life. A good number of TV documentaries also, both by the BBC and other channels. Lucy Worsley presented a particularly good one, if memory serves.

Now imagine combining this idea with the recent CEO and HR affair that was discovered on the Coldplay kiss-cam.

As opposed to the even more recent case of the USA's former Secretary of Homeland Security, just fired today by the President, and her widely-reported affair with one of her subordinates? (Both are married to others.)

If you're cooking that idea for LW, have Miss Marple and Hercule Poirot teaming up for the investigation/expose.

That's it. That's all I have to add to this idea.

Nope.

Jonathon and Jennifer Hart. A Stephanie Powers type character is far more Litable than a little old lady.

Are they in the public domain?

 

[Five_Inch_Heels]

No idea. But there is also Remington Steele and Laura Holt (Stephanie Zimbalist).

A creative author could mold characters from the four of those.

How about creating Agatha Cavanaugh? Combine the two characters mentioned above with Jill Hennesey's character on Crossing Jordan.

She's the name sake, but estranged grand niece of the famed author.

She got her Criminal Justice degree, but had a propensity to get too personally (intimately) invloved and washed out as an investigator for conflict of interest issues. Hearing about her aunt's case, she got involved and became a writer where intimate involvement worked in her favor.
