Decent podcast. If you watch the BBC you know all these folk. The synthesised music is really invasive and annoying. I wish podcasts would stop allowing these dumb cheezy scores to set the tone we can form our own opinions.

Annoying score spoils it

More like a docu-story.
Once I got used to that I really enjoyed episode one and look forward to some more.
People who like Agatha Christie should enjoy this.

It’s a different format….

I just wish I'd been able to hear them separately.

The splicing together all the way through didn't feel entirely convincing. I'd just be getting into some juicy details about the murder case and then all of a sudden we'd be whiffling about with Agatha Christie somewhere in the countryside. A bit jarring, to be honest.

That said, both storylines were told well and Joe Nocera is very engaging and pleasing to listen to.

This was two decent podcasts

Not sure what I was Iistening to, a biography of Agatha or a fictional story about a fictional story.
the series of podcasts are grouped under True Crime, so is that a fictional story about a true story?
That said, there were tasty nuggets about one of the great Crime wrighters, whether fictional or non-, it was a good listen.
I go to the book festival every year so I'll now have a chance to do some detective work myself...exciting.
With my unmeasured ability of Crime solving, I believe it was...I'll let you make up your own mind...but the butler always did it.

An entertaining story...

It was great to learn more about Agatha Christie’s life and the real-life crime was presented in an entertaining and informative way! Definitely worth a listen :)

An entertaining story!
