This playlist leans into the world of “The Christie Affair” with music that feels like drawing-room secrets, investigative momentum, and the emotional aftertaste of revelations. Instrumentals create spaces for clue-by-clue reading, while the vocal tracks reflect shifting alliances, suspicion, and late-night doubt—matching a literary mystery’s ebb and pull.
