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. The podcast's specific project is to rank these novels--because imposing objectivity on a subjective experience like reading is the sort of fruitless exercise that leads to all sorts of fruitful observations, even revelations. More broadly, the idea is to approach Christie by way of a rigorous literary analysis she so rarely gets, but so richly deserves. The same can be said about the mystery genre overall, which is why episodes about Christie are peppered liberally with interviews of contemporary mystery authors, literary scholars, and others. Call it a Christie-fest, if you will, as we revisit Hercule Poirot, Miss Marple, Tommy and Tuppence, and so much more.All rights reserved Arte Historia y Crítica Literaria

    Interview with Maureen Johnson and Jay Cooper, Author and Illustrator of The Creeping Hand Murder
    Oct 3 2025

    Who doesn't love a puzzle? Maureen and Jay have gone *full bore* on the notion of a solvable Golden Age mystery. Call it a mashup between Agatha Christie and Dennis Wheatley's "crime dossiers" (if you know you know). I have a feeling many of you will enjoy the heck out of it.

    You can check out the book, which is now available in the U.S. and UK, on Maureen's website here.

    Here are those links I mentioned at the end of the episode to the two previously inaccessible Christie adaptations I'll be discussing in two weeks' time: Estonian Miss Marple from 1990, and Poirot in the U.S. from 1962. Enjoy! I can't wait to discuss.

    You can now pre-order Sweet Spot, the third book in my Ghostwriter Mysteries series! (Coming out July 2026.) At the very least, click on this link to check out the pretty yellow cover! Pre-orders help me a ton, so I thank you in advance.

    Loose Lips, the second book in my Ghostwriter Mysteries series, is currently available for purchase.

    You can also buy The Busy Body, the first book in my Ghostwriter Mysteries series, in paperback at your bookseller of choice (make it an indie if you possibly can) in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia and New Zealand.

    *LIVE!* Episode - True Crime Queen: The Real-life Murders in Agatha Christie's Fiction (Recorded at the 2025 Agatha Christie Festival)
    Sep 19 2025

    Rejoice: it is time for another live episode from the Agatha Christie Festival, in Christie's birthplace of Torquay! This time I braved the stage all by myself, to discuss Christie's use of true crime in her fiction. As usual, I had an absolute blast.

No real dislikes, I’ve enjoyed listening and re-listening to every episode. This podcast makes me want to re-read every Christie novel and short story.

The sheer nerdy joy of the hosts and guests

So much fun to read along with! I hope he keeps going. I really want him to read The Christie Affair and give his thoughts, because I have some haha

My favorite book club!

Any Christie fan will want to listen in on these well researched conversations, book by book. I look through the titles and pick the one I'm in the mood for. After the sudden death of one of the hosts, Kemper finished the project with an invited guest for each remaining title. Dive in to the conversation. Go back to the books for new insights spurred on by this excellent podcast.

Brilliant analysis of Mrs. Christie's mysteries!

In this podcasr, Kemper Donovan really shows his enthusiasm & personality. Although he is more of a Miss Marple entusiast, he absolutely shines in his discussion of Poirot!!
