  • Informative and tight

    I’m in a constant state of rereading the Queens of Crime chronologically. Though I was in Agatha’s best books (shout out to five little pigs) when I discovered this, it’s still great fun to listen to people reading from the start. The hosts have a nice balance of perspective. I love the inclusion of historical and biographical context, which really adds to the discussion of the books. I hope they are successful enough to do all the books!

  • Wonderful re-read companion

    I decided to do a reread of the Christie canon, and this is a wonderful companion for it, comprising (as it does) the combined thoughts of a long-time Christie fan and someone new to (most of) her works. Well worth a listen!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Questions Revisited (Episodes 5-9)
Q: Was Chimneys meant to be a reference to a well-known country house?
Yes, it seems Chimneys refers to Chequers, the British Prime Minister's country residence based on circumstantial evidence.
Questions Revisited (Episodes 5-9)
Q: Did we learn anything about Hastings' background?
Hastings attended Eaton and worked at Lloyd's, which helped him be part of high society, and he likely made more connections during World War I.
The Murder of Roger Ackroyd
Q: What do you think about the Denouement, Alan?
I thought it was a surprising, brave move, brilliantly executed to have the narrator be the murderer.
Poirot Investigates - Part 1
Q: What did you think of this story?
It was a clever idea, but in practical terms, I think it's highly implausible.
