  • Entertaining and insightful

    Thanks for this wonderful episode, a very interesting topic that is omnipresent in detective fiction of the golden age I think. It is very strange to us now, but always interesting to think about where historically this division of power came from.

    Absolutely wonderful podcast. Caroline's depth of knowledge and enthusiasm are extraordinary and she has a lovely style, sharing her own analysis but keeping the works and the authors firmly at the centre. I have enjoyed learning more about my favourite Golden Age authors, gaining a new appreciation for ones i thought i didn't like, and being exposed to new and lesser-known writers. Some wonderful interview episodes too as well as some great and entertaining themed epsiodes. The Green Penguin pr... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Forensic Fiction
Q: Kathy, maybe if you could just start by giving us the very basics and telling us all, what is a forensic anthropologist?
She explains the subfield within biology, focusing on human remains, the kinds of cases forensic anthropologists handle, and the role of the biological profile in identifying individuals and informing investigations.
The Murders in Praed Street (Green Penguin Book Club 15)
Q: Tell me how you got interested in Cecil Street, aka John Rhode.
I started spotting John Rhodes titles after reading about his influence and then tracked down copies when I found them, gradually building a library of his Road and Burton series and realizing how prolific he was and how his engineering background informed his murder methods.
The Rasp (Green Penguin Book Club 12)
Q: Did you find that you had a different reaction revisiting it now?
Sergio states that while his appreciation for Gethrin remains, he notices different nuances now that he is more experienced with the genre.
The Rasp (Green Penguin Book Club 12)
Q: What was your first encounter with Philip MacDonald and his writing?
Sergio Angelini shares that he started with "The List of Adrian Messenger" and found it captivating, prompting him to seek out more of MacDonald's works.
Rediscovering Miss Marple
Q: What do you think about the narrative style of the book compared to Christie's other works?
It's interesting because this book is unique for its first-person narration and how it affects readers' perception of Miss Marple as a character.
