Welcome to All About Agatha, the podcast dedicated to reading and ranking every single mystery

novel written by the Queen of Crime, Dame Agatha Christie.

I'm Kim Verdanaven.

I'm Katherine Broback.

And oh, happy day.

We have an early, far-off short story.

What are we covering on this episode, Katherine?

We're covering a little bit of a weird one, aren't we, Kimber, because we're covering

the Plymouth Express, and this is like a bit of a weird history to it.

It does.

It does.

And I think we'll talk a lot more about this when we get to the adaptation for this story

that appears in the Souche series, because that's sort of the raison d'etre for this

episode, quite honestly, if the Souche series had not seen fit to adapt Plymouth Express

separately from the mystery of the blue train, which is the novel that the Plymouth Express

was later adapted into.

If they had just simply done a single adaptation for this pairing as they did for many others,

and we will talk about that and why that may be, because I think it's a little interesting.

We probably would have just mentioned this short story on our mystery of the blue train

episode and not covered it separately, but we really do have two adaptations here, so

let's give the short story it's due, and I have to say, you know, we are not the huge

fans of the mystery of the blue train, but this is a perfectly good, short, puarro short
