0:00.0	Welcome to All About Agatha, the podcast dedicated to reading and drinking every single mystery novel written by the Queen of Crime, Dame Agatha Christie.
0:15.3	I am Kemper Donovan, and I apologize for the state of my voice. I am getting over a cold,
0:21.4	although maybe it's appropriate for a spooky themed episode here on All About Agatha.

0:35.5	Happy Halloween, everyone.

1:44.0	and Sherlock Holmes, but Christy as well.
1:47.6	It was just a pleasure and I'm really happy to share it with you. Also, I am running a promotion
