Well done - Informative - Entertaining

I really enjoyed this. A lot of cool details about Agatha Christie and some true crime from the UK. Well researched and formatted in an easy to follow manner. Highly recommend if you like true crime, detective authors, and anything Christie.

The correlation between stories got me hooked

The way the story unfolds in layers, with surrounding events, linking past and present, is in itself great detective work.
I learned a lot too.
Strongly recommended.

Great narrator and listen!

This was very well done. I enjoyed the information about Agatha Christie and her books. While also listening to a very interesting real case. Listening to all the other interviews about the case reminded me of watching a docuseries on TV. would live more like this!

An Engrossing Series

I tripped across this one and was intrigued by the title. Ok, let’s give it a chance. Great series! Couldn’t stop listening to it on our roadtrip. The host is engaging and very skilled in storytelling. I found myself Googling biographies and crime stories introduced in these recordings. Thank you!

podcast

I enjoyed this podcast about comparisons from years past on death murder and suicide. Agatha Christie really brought forth a good story and their commentator established a good storyline that was easily maintained and followed.
