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

Catherine Brobeck.

And this is a very special episode

because we, like so many of you,

watched Knives Out this past week.

We did.

It was the premiere weekend here in the States and we have

thoughts. We were so looking forward to this movie for so long and we know many of

you were and are curious as to our thoughts and

would just like to discuss it a little bit further so we figured this was due a

special episode a la our Kenneth Branaw murder on the Orient Express. We have every intention

of doing another one of these when death on the Nile comes out.

Absolutely. Yeah and you know if people would like to keep making whodunits for the big screen we would do an episode for all of them you know we just we just don't we just don't have enough we will happily pop out these special episodes should the powers that be want to put more

hudunits on the big or small screen for that matter.

So Catherine, what did you think of Knives Out?

You know, I don't think it's a masterpiece or something, you know, I mean, I don't think that it's going to go down as, you know, the greatest movie of all time or anything like that. That said, I had incredibly high expectations going into it.

Obviously, we've been anticipating this for a long time. And so the biggest risk I think

was that I was going to be disappointed.

And I will say that even for someone with very high expectations,

I was delighted.

I agree.
