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. For five years, Catherine Brobeck and Kemper Donovan revisited these novels in publication order, ranking them according to pre-set criteria (plot, character, etc.). Tragically, Catherine Brobeck passed away at the end of 2021. She will be forever missed. Since then, Kemper has completed the podcast's ranking project, and continues to celebrate the greatness of Christie by attempting to solve the ultimate mystery where she is concerned. Why Christie--and Christie alone--endures as powerfully as she does.All rights reserved Art Literary History & Criticism

    Interview with Tina Hodgkinson, Author of Agatha Christie's London: A Historical Guide to the Queen of Crime's Capital

    People sometimes forget that the Queen of Crime used an urban setting for many of her mysteries--that city overwhelmingly tending to be London. Allow this episode to serve as a joyous reminder, and special thanks to Tina Hodgkinson for sitting down with me and disclosing a number of the fun and fascinating facts to be found in her recent book.

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
