Ready the lead piping and have the arsenic to hand for this deliciously dark dissection of Agatha Christie’s trademark murder mysteries. To mark the 50th anniversary of her death, parish priest turned mystery author Richard Coles leads a witty and affectionate tribute to the writer who turned the English countryside into the most dangerous place on the map. Coles is joined by fellow Christie fans to explore how the ‘murder in the countryside’ genre was born – and why it’s proved so enduring.
