Eight alarm clocks were set to go off, one after the other, starting at 6.30 a.m. But when morning arrived, one clock was missing and the prank had backfired with tragic consequences.

All About Agatha
All About Agatha is a podcast all about, well, Agatha. Agatha Christie, of course.
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. Since then, Kemper has completed the podcast's ranking project, and now contents himself with celebrating the greatness of Christie by attempting to solve the ultimate mystery where she is concerned. Why Christie endures as powerfully as she does.
Shedunnit Show
The podcast that unravels the mysteries behind classic detective stories
Shedunnit is a storytelling podcast that unravels the mysteries behind classic detective stories. Host Caroline Crampton uses the novels of Agatha Christie, Dorothy L. Sayers, Ngaio Marsh, Gladys Mitchell, Josephine Tey and other classic mystery writers to evoke the social and literary history of the golden age of detective fiction in the 1920s and 1930s. Tropes like poison pen letters, “the butler did it” and the appearance of crosswords in crime fiction have also featured.
In addition, the podcast looks at the real-life cases that inspired these writers, including the stories of Dr Crippen, Edith Thompson, Florence Maybrick and Julia Wallace.
