About this listen

 All About Agatha is a podcast all about, well, Agatha. Agatha Christie, of course. The Queen of Crime, a real-life Dame of the British Empire and author of sixty-six mystery novels that spanned the Twentieth Century, defining a genre. The podcast's specific project is to rank these novels--because imposing objectivity on a subjective experience like reading is the sort of fruitless exercise that leads to all sorts of fruitful observations, even revelations. More broadly, the idea is to approach Christie by way of a rigorous literary analysis she so rarely gets, but so richly deserves. The same can be said about the mystery genre overall, which is why episodes about Christie are peppered liberally with interviews of contemporary mystery authors, literary scholars, and others. Call it a Christie-fest, if you will, as we revisit Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence, and so much more.All rights reserved Art Literary History & Criticism

  • Interview with Ragnar Jónasson, Mystery Author and Erstwhile Agatha Christie Translator

    Interview with Ragnar Jónasson, Mystery Author and Erstwhile Agatha Christie Translator
    Dec 13 2025

    It's always a pleasure to commune with a legitimate Christie obsessive, and Ragnar is about as legit as they come. You may know him as one of the leading voices of contemporary noir, but he has also translated a number of Christie novels from English into his native Icelandic--starting at the tender age of seventeen, no less!

    You can find out more about Ragnar and his work here, on his website. In particular, we discussed his most recent (and Golden Age-inflected) work, The Mysterious Case of the Missing Crime Writer.

    Captains = good. Commanders = bad. Just two revelations made in the course of a very fun episode to research and record. I hope you enjoy. And happy Thanksgiving to all those in the United States!

    Here is a link to Brad Friedman's brilliant blog post from 2022, about the military men of Christie.

I’m a big Agatha Christie fan so this was a no brainer. The hosts are spectacular. Their insight and engagement is extraordinary. Starting at the beginning and working through the whole catalogue of the Dame’s work is a really interesting idea. I’ve read them all multiple times but it definitely reenergised my interest. Spoiler alert. Don’t google it. There is a truly sad side event towards the end. Just follow and enjoy

In a word outstanding
