All About Agatha Christie: Daily Summaries Delivered
by Christie
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.

Spooky, Scary: The Hound of Death by Agatha Christie
It's time for another Hallowe'en SPOOKTACULAR episode, covering what I believe to be Christie's final original short story (for now) not yet covered on the podcast.... You might want to pair this one with The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle for maximal canine creepiness. Poor hounds; they get such a bum rap.

Please consider purchasing Sweet Spot, the third book in my Ghostwriter Mysteries series.

Oh, Mary! Ranking the Westmacotts with Guest Co-Hosts Mark Aldridge & Gray Robert Brown of Westmapod
How did it take this long for me to clip from Fawlty Towers on one of my episodes recorded in Torquay?! Thank goodness for Dr. Mark Aldridge and Gray Robert Brown, who were kind enough to come on for another crossover episode, this time with their latest podcast project, Westmapod, focused on the works of Mary Westmacott. It was such a joy to rank all six of the Mary Westmacotts with them for this episode, and I can't wait to have them on again--no matter the topic.
