    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

  • A magical find

    I eventually capitulate and listened to an episode, after much advertising alongside crime stories found on BBC sounds. I love this gentle but surprisingly questioning podcast. I am now listening back from the beginning and it is a joy. The research and information makes me think as I recover from exhaustion and challenges me to go looking for new books, thank you

  • Incredible Fun!

    I found out about Caroline, her book, and her podcast in a great interview on the Art of Crime Podcast. I’ve since enjoyed the book and devoured the entire back catalogue of this podcast. My mother loved classic mystery books from this period, and it’s been a joy to remember her as I have started to read some of the authors covered by Shedunnit. I’m also genuinely surprised by how many fascinating topics the host covers, many of them having to do with social history, which I love! Any way, it’s ... more

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

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.
Rediscovering Miss Marple
Q: What was your experience with the last time you read The Murder at the Vicarage?
It had been a long time since I read the book, and I realized I had forgotten a lot about it, such as the fact that it is first-person narrated by the vicar.
The Poison Book
Q: How did the legislation around poisons change over time?
The original laws were lax and poorly enforced, leading to ongoing issues; subsequent legislation like the Pharmacy Act attempted to regulate the sale better, but many loopholes remained.
The Four Just Men (Green Penguin Book Club 9)
Q: How do you rate what Edgar Wallace did in this book?
As a locked room, it doesn't hold up in terms of an ingenious contrivance; it worked in the context of when it was written but wouldn’t seem clever today.
The Four Just Men (Green Penguin Book Club 9)
Q: Did you pick up The Four Just Men?
It was actually my next Edgar Wallace title after Mr. JG Reeder, because Wallace was co-creator of King Kong and had astronomical popularity during his lifetime but comparatively slipped into obscurity.
