Cristina Brambilla

The cruel sister

Crime

Mystery

“The fact that my sister pretended to be someone else—someone unpredictable and dangerous—threw me into sheer terror. And yet… the pleasure I felt in being so afraid was indescribable.”

Inspired by the life of young Agatha Christie, Cristina Brambilla crafts an entirely new story in the genre that so captivated the British writer: the mystery novel. In this context, Brambilla imagines the events, emotions, and stories that might have inspired Agatha Christie in writing the timeless classics that made her an immortal author.
