  • Informed and hugely entertaining

    The central task of reading and ranking all the Christie novels was long ago completed. And I largely agree with the ranking. (Largely..!) The back catalogue of episodes is now a terrific reference resource to dip into with new episodes a chatty commentary on everything there is to know about the world of the Queen of Crime. Sheer joy.

As a Christie fan i love the blend of respect, geeky informativeness and lightness that the podcast brings to discussing her work and life and as a writer I really enjoy the analysi... more
