This episode explores the connections between true crime stories and the works of Agatha Christie. The host interviews two authors - Jonathan Whitelaw, who writes cozy crime novels, and Jackie Barrow, who is researching a true crime case from 1909 that shares similarities with Christie's 'The Mysterious Affair at Styles'. The discussion covers topics like the origins of Whitelaw's 'Bingo Hall Detectives' series, the influence of Christie's writing techniques, and Barrow's investigation into a suspected poisoning case that captivated Missouri over a century ago.
