Summary
Double, double toil and trouble.... It's time for a second--and much closer--look at the grand estate of Chimneys and its many, many (no really: many) secrets!

| 1:01.9 | This is true, and I am finally getting around to making good on this promise slash threat. |
| 1:07.9 | Today is the day I will be revisiting the Secret of Chimneys by Agatha Christie, and |
| 1:13.8 | perhaps giving this book the justice it deserves. |
| 1:16.8 | But I should note up top that there is a more proximate trigger for my reading of the Secret |
| 1:23.6 | of Chimneys. |

| 1:31.2 | I wanted to let all of you know about this new podcast. |
| 1:35.0 | It's called Tea and Murder. |
| 1:37.2 | It is hosted by Rebecca Tondin-Norman, who is a huge Agatha Christie fan. |
| 1:42.6 | She contacted me some months ago and said, hey, would you be willing to come onto my new |
