Agatha Christie has had her works translated into more languages than any other author in history according to the most superficial of Googlings. But would she have given a monkey's? It's impossible to know and fruitless to ask so why Alan of the Surrey Borders entered her name into the Bean Machine is a mystery the likes of which even Jack Reacher would struggle to solve but we're here now so let's all make the most of it.Join our PATREON for ad-free episodes and bonus/video episodes: www.patreon.com/threebeansaladWith thanks to our editor Laura Grimshaw.Merch available here: www.threebeansaladshop.comGet in touch: threebeansaladpod@gmail.com Insta: threebeansaladpod

This episode we're covering Death Valley, the Welsh cozy mystery on BritBox that's basically Midsomer Murders but with even more unpronounceable town names and a retired actor solving crimes for fun. This is also our first video episode! Come check us out on YouTube or patreon.com/cluedunnitpodcast!  In this episode: Retired TV detective actor John Chapel (Timothy Spall) teams up with eager-but-junior DS Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth) to investigate a murder at a 15-year high school reunion.

Send us Fan MailIn this episode of Teachers in Transition, Vanessa explores how the books we loved when we were young helped shape what we notice, value, question, and carry into adulthood AND how our own stories  can help us write a better resume.From Erma Bombeck and Agatha Christie's Miss Marple to Nancy Drew, The Boxcar Children, Harry Potter, Percy Jackson, The Hunger Games, Divergent, and more, this episode looks at the “childhood bookshelf” as more than nostalgia. Those early stories may have taught us how to solve problems, recognize patterns, seek belonging, survive broken systems, resist being reduced to one role, and remember who we were before burnout took over.Vanessa also talks about reading with children and teens, the difference between censorship and conversation, and why the books young people choose can give us clues about what they are trying to understand.In the Career Transition and Job Search segment, Vanessa moves into resume basics for teachers leaving the classroom. She explains why a modern resume is not your whole life story, why skills should be shown through evidence-rich bullet points instead of a disconnected skills section, and how teachers can begin turning real classroom stories into quantifiable resume accomplishments.You'll also hear about the “Everything Resume” — a master resume template that holds your stories, accomplishments, projects, leadership roles, certifications, data stories, communication wins, and more — so you have raw material ready when it is time to tailor a resume for a specific job posting.Episode highlights:Why childhood books may still hold clues about who we areHow Gen X, Millennial, and Gen Z reading experiences shaped different kinds of courageWhy “stories matter” does not mean censorship is the answerHow rereading old favorites can help reconnect us with ourselvesWhy teachers need targeted resumes, not one perfect resume for every jobHow to turn teaching stories into resume bullet pointsWhy quantifiable resume metrics matterWhat an Everything Resume is and why teachers should build oneHow SCOUT helps Vanessa's clients explore career direction and translate teaching experienceMentioned in this episode:Erma Bombeck — Aunt Erma's Cope Book and other humor collections Carolyn Keene — Nancy Drew series Franklin W.

She's an icon. A trailblazer. A producer. A star.And she still can't figure out Apple Pay.Brooke Shields joins Monica Samuels and co-host Julie Orchid on Inside the Moms Club — and y'all, she is every bit as funny, warm, and real as you'd hope. With her daughter just back from college (yes, she moved home — rent free, dishes in the sink and all), Brooke is officially in that beautiful, chaotic in-between stage of motherhood that so many of us know too well.But she's not slowing down. Brooke is producing AND starring in her new mystery series You're Killing Me on Acorn TV — and this is the most creative control she's ever had over a project. She fought for every location, every wardrobe choice, every casting decision. And the result? People are loving it.Plus — Julie and Brooke have a surprise connection: their daughters were in the same play at Wake Forest. Cue the "pit sweating" and "trying not to cry" mom solidarity.This one is funny, heartfelt, and a little bit iconic. Just like Brooke.

What happens when a classic Agatha Christie story is reimagined with the memory of war lingering behind it? In the latest episode of Oh! What a Lovely Podcast, Jessica, Chris and Angus are joined by Kemper Donovan, author and host of All About Agatha, to discuss Agatha Christie's The Seven Dials Mystery and its recent Netflix adaptation. Unlike the familiar worlds of Poirot and Miss Marple, The Seven Dials Mystery blends mystery, comedy and espionage into a lighter and more adventurous story. The new adaptation embraces that spirit while reworking elements of the narrative for modern audiences, including giving the First World War a much greater role than it plays in the original novel.   References: Christie, A.

This episode I'm talking to Jonathan Geffner the writer, producer and star of the film and his co-star Ed Altman about their fantastic new film The Dummy Detective, and the inspirational films behind the film, Animal Crackers, The Maltese Falcon and Agatha Christie adaptions. On this one Jonathan talks about the different tones he tries balance in making the film, mixing comedy and film noir together. Jonathan talks about how he avoided falling into horror cliches about ventriloquism. Ed talks about how he approached his character and how his character is arguably the heart and soul of the film.

October 23, 1987. Arlington, Texas. 43-year old Patsy Wright phones up her sister in the middle of the night to complain that she has become nauseous after taking some NyQuil, but collapses during the call and soon passes away. An autopsy eventually reveals that Patsy was poisoned after strychnine was put in her NyQuil. The investigation would uncover multiple suspects with a motive to murder Patsy, but no evidence to implicate anyone. Our first “The Path Went Chilly” episode that analyzes a real-life whodunit which resembles an Agatha Christie murder mystery.Support the Show: Patreon.com/thetrailwentcoldPatreon.com/julesandashleyAdditional Reading:http://unsolved.com/archives/patsy-wrighthttp://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/1989/august/t-h-e-wax-museum-murder-mystery/http://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/1990/february/the-name-is-dear-bill-dear/

The FINAL definition of vamp on the Merriam-Webster site says "Improvise, extemporize." That's the one we're using here. Not "a woman who uses her charm or wiles to seduce and exploit men," which is the FIRST definition. What the actual hell? On this Dorks Just Chatting, Chewie talks all about his newly-purple beard and his mom's stay in the hospital. Dirk has no idea when things happened and tells us all about a massive school program that eventually just...stopped. We discuss extracurricular activities in school (or our lack thereof). We reminisce about weird problems we had with old guests (or people who didn't become guests) in our ridiculously long history. We wonder at the UK officially preserving Badger Badger Badger, which leads naturally into...Nintendo Power and its comics. Naturally. Eventually this gets us to new editions of books that change words and titles, and that's where Chewie learned about the original title of Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None.

The Lion and the Adder is the first season of a new audio drama series from Monstrous Productions inspired by the Golden Age of detective fiction.  When a young man disappears in a suspected demonic possession, Robin Sylvester - a physicist specializing in the science of demon summoning - is called in to help solve the case. He's joined by Detective Inspector Nicholas Hawthorn and consulting psychic Evelyn “Bash” Sebastian in a 1920s supernatural detective story that blurs the lines between science, magic and religion. If you love the work of Agatha Christie, Margery Allingham, and Dorothy Sayers and wondered what that style of prose sounded like mixed with plenty of supernatural elements and heart, fully produced with a full voice cast and immersive sound design then head on over to Monstrous Production's Kickstarter to check out more about the show!

You can find Alyson Richman at www.alysonrichman.com or on IG @alysonrichman.   If you're a historical fiction lover, you've probably read something by Alyson Richman. She's the author of 11 novels, including The Missing Pages, which was published last fall. We were delighted that she agreed to come on the show and speak to us about this book, although we did sneak in a question about The Velvet Hours published in 2016, which our book club read many years ago. It is about a real Paris courtesan in the Belle Epoque who in her later years as World War II approaches shares her life story with her granddaughter.   The Missing Pages is a historical fiction novel that is about a man's love of books, but it is also a ghost tale, a romance, and a story of the Titanic all rolled into one. Richman is known for making the reader feel the sumptuous details of the world she is writing about, and she does it again in this book.   Our book rec segment of the show is all about musicians, but we're not talking solely about musician memoirs, although we do have one of those. We've got a children's nonfiction book about a Ukrainian pianist who performed for Nazsis, a National Book Award winner, a mystery about a stolen violin, a story about a wedding singer whose own relationship is on the rocks, and a coming of age story set in the 1970s that includes a rock star.    Books Mentioned in This Episode: 1- The Missing Pages by Alyson Richman  2- The Velvet Hours by Alyson Richman  3- The Personal Librarian by Marie Benedict and Victoria Christopher Murray  4- All the Beauty in the World by Patrick Bringley  5- Buckeye by Patrick Ryan  6- The Hare with the Amber Eyes by Edmund de Waal  7- Underlake by Erin L.

So if you need a new audiobook for your summer travels, we have got you covered. Now let's have an update on my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. Since I recorded the last episode on May 6th, I'm pleased to report that Dragon-Mage, the sixth book in the Half-Elven Thief series, is done. You can get it at Amazon and Kindle Unlimited since Half Eleven Thief is my Kindle Unlimited series (until it is finished). It's doing quite well and thank you all for that. Now that Dragon-Mage is finished, my main project is now Blade of Thieves. And as of this recording, I am 29,000 words into it. I think the rough draft will be 100,000 words or so, give or take. I hope to have this out in June, though it might slip to July (depending on events). My secondary project is Cloak of Frost, which will be the 15th book in the Cloak Mage series. I am 2,000 words into that and I am hoping to have that out towards the end of July, though of course that by slip to August (depending on events). So that is what I am working on right now. In audiobook news, since I recorded the last episode, we had two audiobooks mostly come out. Cloak of Illusion (as excellently narrated by Hollis McCarthy) is available at Audible, Apple, Google Play, and all the other audiobook stores. Blade of Wraiths (as excellently narrated by Brad Wills) is also finished. I believe as of this recording, you can get it at my Payhip store, Google Play, and Kobo (though Audible and the other audiobook stores should be following along before too much longer). As for Dragon-Mage, Leanne Woodward will be recording that in July (if all goes well). So that's where I'm at with my current writing, publishing, and audiobook projects. 00:02:38 Main Topic: Perception Failure Mode for Writers Now let's go to our main topic, how to write characters who miss the obvious in a way that's believable and doesn't exasperate the reader. When writing a story, it's sometimes useful to have a character miss the obvious. Of course, if done badly, this can sometimes inspire exasperation in the audience, like the cliche of the woman going alone into the basement with a flickering candle to reset the circuit breaker while a serial killer is on the loose and you get bonus cliche points if she's wearing a bikini. The trick is to have the character miss the obvious in a believable way that matches the circumstances. The obvious might be obvious, but it is often obvious only in hindsight. For example, here is a story about the time I failed to notice the obvious. In the morning, I typically get up, use the restroom, and then get dressed to go to the gym. I normally sleep with earplugs and don't usually remove them until I get dressed. While using the restroom, I will bring my phone or my tablet, depending on which is closer at hand and play chess puzzles to help my brain wake up. Now this detail is important. My tablet is an iPad, but my phone is an Android. Gradually, I began to notice that whenever I started the day, I could hear a woman talking very loudly outside the window. At first, I thought nothing of it. The house is fairly close to the sidewalk, so I often hear people talking as they walk past. However, as the days passed, I noticed I frequently heard exactly the same woman whenever I went into the bathroom. That started again on my nerves, so I glanced out the window to see who it was, but I never saw anyone nearby. For that matter, it didn't happen every day. Then a very strange fact occurred to me. This only happened on days when I had my phone, not my iPad, and this led me to discover the truth. The chess app had been updated to have the virtual chess coach talk to you as you played chess. My iPad and my phone were on mute, but on Android, apps can sometimes override the system mute setting to make noise. So my phone was talking to me as I did chess puzzles, and because I still had my earplugs in and hadn't enjoyed my morning coffee yet and my brain wasn't working, I failed to realize that my phone was the source of the voice. I had failed to notice the obvious. So once I had turned off the voice on the chess app, this got me to thinking. My specific example is so implausible and convoluted that it would be impossible to use in a novel since it would seem contrived, but how can you have characters in a novel fail to notice the obvious in a way that doesn't annoy the reader? I think there are five ways you can do it. #1: The character fails to notice something because of reasonable circumstances. Human perception is quite fallible and more so when we are stressed. It's common knowledge that if five people witness a crime, there will be five contradictory accounts of what happened based on what the individual in question happened to notice. For example, if you see a car accident in front of you, that will dominate your attention and cause you to miss background details, like the color of a nearby parked car or a nearby house. A character can also miss important details when he or she has no good reason to notice these details. There's a reason that in real life many spies try to be unremarkable as possible. The brain sort of slides over the unremarkable and makes it into part of the background. This can also work in mundane settings. For example, if a character is an electrician, he won't know what accounting software his clients use because he has no reason to know or care, especially if he gets paid on time. Stress is also a good way to have a character fail to notice something important. Job loss, an illness, a bad day, lack of sleep, and other things might mean the character is not operating at his or her best and may fail to notice important details. #2: Missing information causes you to miss the obvious. Insufficient information can cause a character to come to the wrong conclusion. Here's another example from my own life. Earlier this year, I drove a 2,000 mile road trip in a few days and towards the end, my right foot and leg started to hurt. The explanation for that I thought was obviously that I'd driven 2,000 miles in four days and put too much unaccustomed strain on my right foot. Once I got home, I would take a few days to rest and it should be good. Except when I got home, the pain got worse. I developed a fever and an uncomfortable swelling on the side of my right foot. I didn't have tendonitis or muscle strain. I had actually developed cellulitis for some reason. If you haven't heard of cellulitis, it's a potentially serious infection of these subdermal skin layer. A trip to the doctor and some antibiotics later, it was better. But this is an excellent example of coming to a reasonable, nonetheless wrong conclusion based on the available facts. Considering the amount of driving and walking I had been doing, it was perfectly reasonable to assume that I had strained something in my leg, but that wasn't what was happening at all. All the facts I knew were correct, but I was missing the key fact, the infection, and so had come to the wrong conclusion. This is a technique you can use in fiction quite easily and it's common in detective and mystery novels. It's common for the protagonist to construct a theory about the crime only for it to be proven wrong by a single piece of additional information. #3: All the information, wrong conclusion. Sometimes you can have all the correct information, but you draw the wrong conclusion from it. Here's another example from my life. As you may know, I have a lot of audiobooks available on Spotify, so if you're a Spotify listener and want to use your audiobook hours, I have some for you. So this naturally means I get a tax form from Spotify every year. During the run up to the 2026 tax season, I got an email from Spotify saying that my tax information was wrong and needed to be updated, which was baffling because my tax information had not changed. So I logged into the dashboard, but nothing seemed amiss and I saw no notifications about it there. Then I realized the truth, the email was fake. It had been sent to a different email address than the one I actually used for Spotify. The email was a very clever and very well written phishing attempt. The habit of never clicking on any link in an email (instead going directly to the dashboard in question) had served me well here. I had all the facts before me, but I arrived at the wrong conclusion because it was tax season and so it was reasonable to expect to get an email like that. Now this can be used in fiction in multiple ways. Probably the most famous example is how Elizabeth Bennett and Mr. Darcy come to the wrong conclusion about each other's motives in Pride and Prejudice. They both have all the facts but draw wrong assumptions from them. #4: Deliberately deceived. A character can also come to the wrong conclusion or fail to notice the obvious or if he or she is deliberately deceived. The phishing attempt I mentioned earlier was an example of this. Having a character be believably deceived and indeed deceiving the reader as well is a very useful technique in fiction. Agatha Christie was very good at this in her mystery novels. For example, in The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, The ABC Murders, and Murder on the Orient Express, the characters and the readers are operating under assumptions for most of the book that turn out to be the result of deceptions on the part of some of the characters. Granted, using this method can be kind of a rug pull for the reader. However, there's nothing wrong with a rug pull if it's done well. As I mentioned earlier, it's a common saying that the obvious is only obvious in hindsight. If you have the characters believing the deception for reasonable reasons only to have them realize the truth later, if you do it well and make the book all the more satisfying if there were subtle clues and foreshadowing about the truth earlier in the story. That kind of rug pull is a bit like garlic in cooking. You don't want to overdo it, but it's highly effective when used in the proper amount. #5: Something more important is happening. Sometimes you don't notice something that would otherwise be obvious because something more urgent is demanding all of your attention and focus. I think this is one of the biggest reasons people miss the obvious and it's very relatable. In my earlier bout with cellulitis, I didn't realize the obvious truth that I was getting cellulitis because I was focused on something more important at the time, namely not accidentally driving my car into an overpass embankment for the next thousand miles or so. People have varying attention spans, but every individual person has only so many things they can think about or worry about at any given time. You can use this to cause your characters to miss things they might otherwise have noticed. For example, imagine a village in a fantasy book. There's an evil wizard living incognito in the village and he's summoning tribes of goblins to destroy the village. The protagonist is busy trying to fight off the goblins, so he overlooks the subtle hints that one of his neighbors is an evil wizard because all his attention is on fighting and he's tired enough that he's missing things he might otherwise catch. In this example, the problems are linked. The goblins are attacking the village because the evil wizard is summoning them. Having linked problems like that can help drive the plot forward and provide narrative tension as the character gradually realizes the truth or stumbles across clues pointing to the truth. So those are five tips and tricks you can use to have your characters believably overlook the obvious, but there's one bonus reason that has developed in the last 15 years or so and that bonus reason is number six: stop looking at your phone in public. In recent years, I've become amazed at how many people allow themselves to be utterly mesmerized by their phones in public. I suppose I'm old enough that it's a generational thing. I didn't have my first smartphone until I was well into my 30s, but it still surprises me every time I see it. That said, for all that you hear about crime and disorder on the news in the United States, you can tell that the US still is by and large and for the most part a pretty safe country because people are so comfortable focusing on their phones in public and ignoring their surroundings. Safety experts will tell you that the number one thing you can do to keep yourself safe in a public place is to maintain situational awareness and yet an astonishingly large number of people simply don't do that in favor of looking at their phones. So if you are writing a book set in the modern era, a quick and easy way to make sure a character doesn't notice something is to have him or her looking at [his or] her phone. Granted, you can overuse this, but this makes for a very believable technique for making sure that a character misses a detail or an event. Conclusion It's annoying when a character is all-knowing, but it's equally annoying when a character fails to notice the obvious because it's convenient for the writer. Hopefully these five tips and one bonus tip will help to create plausible reasons for characters to overlook things and miss things they would [have] otherwise noticed. Used well, this can help you create a compelling story for your book. So that is it for this week. Thank you for listening to The Pulp Writer Show. I hope you found the show useful.

Experta nadadora, surfista, una de las primeras mujeres en volar y en conducir un coche, viajera empedernida y arqueóloga por amor. La vida de Agatha Christie (Torquay, 1890 – Winterbrook, 1975) es la apasionante historia de una niña educada en los estrictos y caducos cánones victorianos que ha de enfrentarse a los frenéticos y constantes cambios sociales, culturales y tecnológicos del siglo XX. De esa tensión interna surgirá una personalidad compleja que se verá desbordada en los últimos días de 1926, cuando la ya entonces famosa escritora de novelas de misterio protagoniza una enigmática desaparición que tuvo en vilo al Reino Unido y que nunca explicó. Aquel extraño episodio sucedió durante el doloroso divorcio de su primer marido, Archibald Christie.Para entonces la autora ya había alumbrado a su personaje más popular, el detective Hércules Poirot, en novelas como 'El misterioso caso de Styles' (1920). Con él creó un canon literario que le reportó un inmenso éxito a lo largo de cinco décadas; una fórmula cerrada y confortable de la que también nació la perspicaz Miss Marple, inolvidable para sus millones de lectores gracias a casos como el de 'Muerte en la vicaría' (1930). Sin embargo, las novelas de las que se sintió más orgullosa Agatha Christie fueron otras: las que componen la serie romántica publicada bajo el pseudónimo de Mary Westmacott. En ellas y en sus dos autobiografías puede rastrearse –con cierta precaución, puesto que edulcoró parte de sus recuerdos– el lado más íntimo de la mujer que no dudó, una vez divorciada, en tomar el mítico Orient-Express para encontrar de nuevo el amor en la figura de su segundo marido, el arqueólogo Max Mallowan.Este documental, con guion de Alfredo Laín y diseño sonoro de Mayca Aguilera, cuenta con las voces de la escritora y periodista Rosa Montero, autora de 'Agatha Christie. La eterna fugitiva', y del biógrafo Eduardo Caamaño, autor de 'Agatha Christie. La biografía definitiva de la Reina del Crimen'. Participan también el arqueólogo y profesor de la Universidade da Coruña Juan Luis Montero Fenollós; y el escritor y ensayista Mauricio Wiesenthal, autor de 'Orient-Express. El tren de Europa'.Escuchar audio

October 23, 1987. Arlington, Texas. 43-year old Patsy Wright phones up her sister in the middle of the night to complain that she has become nauseous after taking some NyQuil, but collapses during the call and soon passes away. An autopsy eventually reveals that Patsy was poisoned after strychnine was put in her NyQuil. The investigation would uncover multiple suspects with a motive to murder Patsy, but no evidence to implicate anyone. Our first “The Path Went Chilly” episode that analyzes a real-life whodunit which resembles an Agatha Christie murder mystery.Support the Show: Patreon.com/julesandashleyPatreon.com/thetrailwentcoldAdditional Reading:http://unsolved.com/archives/patsy-wrighthttp://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/1989/august/t-h-e-wax-museum-murder-mystery/http://www.dmagazine.com/publications/d-magazine/1990/february/the-name-is-dear-bill-dear/

What type of protagonist does your story feature? There are 4 types, each of them can be a constant character or a change character, and each one evokes a different emotion from your reader/viewer. And that's exactly what I'm studying this season starting with the hero which could be a literal superhero, or it could be a little old lady. And Melanie is studying the story premise and how to articulate a story in one sentence (because it's a skill EVERY writer needs!).

This week I want to introduce you to a woman you haven't met yet. And before I tell you about Madame J, I have to tell you about Elle. Elle was my imaginary friend when I was eight. A 1920s movie star with a jet black bob, cupid bow lips, and apartments in Paris, Hollywood, and New York City. Whenever I opened the imaginary door to her apartment I never knew which city I'd land in. Sometimes I held up a bottle of Palmolive soap and accepted awards alongside her while I did the dishes. She was the fun place to go. Madame J is not Elle. But there are qualities to her that remind me of Elle, as if these were real women who simply knew each other. This week I talk about: The childhood imaginary cast: Berg, Peter, Betty, and Elle What this season of life made possible that my eight-year-old imagination couldn't Why I wanted to write women I'd actually want to spend time with. She's not nice, but she's kind.

Original Release Date: Monday 18 May 2026    Description:   On this second episode of Year 20 (“the year we get it right!”), Dean and Phil have crime on their minds! They start with an appreciation of director Jules Dassin's classic film noir Night and the City. Then a Hitchcockian thriller, Mirage, by Edward Dmytryk, the man largely responsible for Jules Dassin getting blacklisted gets analyzed. Both films show telltale signs of having been directed by men with quite different experiences of the Hollywood blacklist. A neo-noir that never disappoints is Robert Altman's Philip Marlowe adaptation The Long Goodbye. Dean and Phil discuss the film as a “satire of melancholy” and share many stories about the filmmakers and actors' remarkable approaches to telling the story. Another 1970s mystery film, the ill-fated Agatha about the real-life disappearance of the great mystery novelist Agatha Christie for 11 days in 1926 gets reviewed. The final suspense picture on the Chillpak crime blotter this week is Henri-Georges Clouzot's masterful The Wages Fear. Dean reviewed it several weeks back, and now it's Phil's turn to compare and contrast it with William Friedkin's 1977 adaptation of the same source material, Sorcerer. Finally, one new blockbuster, the crowd-pleasing The Devil Wears Prada 2 gets analyzed both as a legacy sequel and as a very hopeful harbinger for the summer movie season.

Our month-long salute to mystery writing legends continues with the queen of crime herself - Agatha Christie. She wrote over sixty novels, dozens of short stories, and created two of the genre's most beloved sleuths - Hercule Poirot, the fastidious and brilliant Belgian detective, and Miss Marple, the kindly amateur investigator. We'll hear four of Dame Agatha's tales recreated for radio: "The Murder of Roger Ackroyd" with Orson Welles as Poirot from The Campbell Playhouse (originally aired on CBS on November 12, 1939); "The Tragedy of Marsdon Manner" from Murder Clinic (originally aired on Mutual on October 6, 1942); and "The ABC Murders" and "Where There's a Will" from Suspense (originally aired on CBS on May 18, 1943 and February 24, 1949).

Hotels represent nations, hosting visiting monarchs, politicians, and diplomats. Hotels underpin global networks of travel and communication, on which national and international prosperity have increasingly depended since the end of the First World War. Yet hotels are also places where people can be anonymous; where murderers and thieves mix with adulterers and con artists; and where prejudice finds expression in who is refused access, and in the forms of 'service' provided by staff in the lowest-paid roles. The Secret Life of the Hotel: Sex, Crime and Protest in British Guesthouses Since 1918 (Bloomsbury, 2026) by Professor Eloise Moss is the first book to uncover how hotels entrenched inequality, prejudice, and exploitation in Britain's tourist sector, and in wider society and culture, during the 20th century.Professor Moss delves into hotel murders, swindles, and scandals, including the history of Agatha Christie's disappearance in 1926, the 'Margate Hotel Murder', and the divorce of Wallis Simpson in 1936 so she could marry King Edward VIII. Professor Moss's exploration of the hotel also shines a light on the fight against the colour bar, the formation of the British civil rights movement, and the visit to London of Martin Luther King Jr.The Secret Life of the Hotel uniquely tells the story of Britain's relationship with the world during the 20th century through the prism of its hotels, showing how their infrastructure and 'welcome' had profound consequences for women, people of colour, LGBTQ+ citizens, and people with disabilities. This interview was conducted by Dr. Miranda Melcher whose book focuses on post-conflict military integration, understanding treaty negotiation and implementation in civil war contexts, with qualitative analysis of the Angolan and Mozambican civil wars.

Agatha Christie a disparu en décembre 1926, en pleine crise personnelle. Sa mère vient de mourir, ce qui la bouleverse durablement. En même temps, son mari, Archibald Christie, lui annonce qu'il la trompe et qu'il veut divorcer. Elle se retrouve donc fragilisée à la fois par un deuil intime et par l'effondrement de sa vie conjugale. Son absence pendant plusieurs jours provoque une vive émotion en Grande-Bretagne. Sa voiture est retrouvée abandonnée près de Silent Pool, avec plusieurs effets personnels à l'intérieur. Cette situation fait craindre un drame et alimente toutes les hypothèses : accident, suicide, enlèvement ou mise en scène ? Pendant plusieurs jours, la police et la presse se mobilisent. L'écrivaine est finalement retrouvée dans un hôtel quelques jours plus tard, saine et sauve. Mais elle n'a jamais donné d'explication claire. Le mystère reste entier.Hébergé par Audiomeans.

La actriz Carmen Morales llega a Zaragoza con “Querida Agatha Christie”, una obra que imagina un encuentro entre Agatha Christie y Benito Pérez Galdós. Teatro, misterio, humor y reflexión sobre la salud mental en una función muy especial.

James Cameron-Wilson finds #3 The Sheep Detectives a bit of a curate's egg. An anthropomorphic fantasy, families will take the astonishingly animated sheep to their hearts in a plot worth of Agatha Christie but the acting is annoyingly hammy. Billie Eilish: Hit Me Hard & Soft is a concert film directed by James Cameron. Often hard to hear the lyrics, it is perhaps one for her fans. Out on Blu-Ray is Lynne Ramsay's Die My Love. Robert Pattinson is sidelined by Jennifer Lawrence's impressive performance as a depressive mother becoming increasingly irrational. An important film which juggles realism with the nightmarish, it is almost a character-based horror film. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

The 20th Deja Brew podcast leads off with ‘The Poison Sky' where an early adopter of the man-o-sphere sees the errors of his ways and blows himself up real good in order to prevent an invasion of Sontarans... of his own making tho so F that guy! ‘The Doctor's Daughter' follows with said daughter/clone of the Doctor being introduced and never mentioned/referenced again much to the chagrin of co-host Steve... whilst co-host John secretly/openly cackles at Steve's chagrin-ery. Last up ‘The Unicorn And The Wasp' finds the Doctor and Donna cos-playing a live action game of Clue. I correctly guessed Agatha Christie in the 1920's with an alien Wasp! Twenty-three skidoo!

On this episode we update you on: exploring a new place that apparently is not Seattle, the Kentucky Derby and doing too much with ice cream. Subject of the week will be: Agatha Christie by Baylee.

If you love richly atmospheric historical mysteries with a romantic thread, strong female leads, and satisfying endings — this one is for you.
