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 six years, we revisited each and every one of these novels in publication order and ranked them according to pre-set criteria such as plot, character, and setting. Now, we content ourselves with interviewing like-minded obsessives (scholars and contemporary mystery authors, for the most part), dissecting new adaptations, and trying to solve the age-old mystery of why Christie--and Christie alone--endures as she does through both space and time. Call it a Christie-fest, as we revisit Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence, and, oh, so much more...!
