Summary

Given the ceaseless flitting of that winged and mysterious fourth dimension known as time, we have managed to pass the two-year mark for our podcast... which means it's time to check in on our rankings! In other words, we were given a great excuse to nerd out yet again over those Christie creations we've already covered, and boy, did we capitalize on that opportunity. We hope you enjoy, as we did.

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. I'm Kemper Donovan.
0:14.2	I'm Catherine Brobeck. And this week we are not covering a novel, we are not covering
0:19.9	a short story. We are reviewing our rankings my friends we're reviewing ourselves
0:26.4	that's right we are we are reviewing ourselves because we had our second
0:30.9	anniversary a little while ago on September 15th.
0:34.1	Yes, the anniversary of this podcast is of course the anniversary of our dear day Magatha's
0:40.1	day of birth and we've been meaning now for a little while to do a little review of where we are

1:20.9	Ove as a whole. So in that, our opinions of specific books may change given the greater
1:26.3	context of future books. That's a valid and legitimate reason to alter a ranking.
1:32.1	Right. So when somewhere down the road we ranked the pale horse

1:45.2	our various social media platforms pictorial representations of our rankings.
1:50.6	So for those of you who want to follow along closely to this discussion it may be helpful just to take a little look at the chart of our rankings that we provided.
2:01.0	So we usually leave all of our social media handles to the end of the
2:05.3	episode, but I will go ahead and list them right now in case you would like to do so at this
2:09.4	moment. You can find us on Twitter at all about the dame. You can also find us on Twitter at all about the dame. You can also find us on
