- Thoughtful and fun
A thoughtful peek into the lesser-known, rarely discussed side of Christie’s work. Mark and Gray approach the Westmacott novels in their distinctive style, balancing reflection and insight with a light touch and flecks of humour.

United Kingdom2 months ago - Swinging Sister
A brilliant sister podcast to the Swinging Christies. I know nothing about the Westmacott novels and I’m grateful for the insights and the opportunity to learn about them. It points me towards novels I’d otherwise never have read. It’s a clear labour of love and I can’t wait for the Christie Time book release next year.

As an Agatha Christie superfan, I have loved the Westmacott novels since I first read them in high school, but it seems like no one else has read them! So I’m super excited for this deep dive into each of the novels with their expertise!!
