Summary
Letters! We get letters! We get stacks and stacks of letters! It's a mailbag-only episode of All About Agatha, and you know what that means: Sia's heartbreaking "Breathe Me" song underlying my chatter at various points in the episode! No, I couldn't have predicted this either, but the Sia is a testament to how deeply I cherish all these messages, and how important they are to the podcast. Thank you, one and all, for your contributions. And please: keep them coming!
Here is a link to the YouTuber, Summation Gathering, who I mention in the episode, analyzing whether Miss Marple could solve Monsieur Poirot's cases. And here he is dream-casting various literary detectives.
You can check out my upcoming tour dates here on my author website.
You can now buy Loose Lips, the second book in my Ghostwriter Mysteries series, here in the United States!
And you can now buy The Busy Body, the first book in my Ghostwriter Mysteries series, in paperback at your bookseller of choice (make it an indie if you possibly can) in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia and New Zealand.

| 0:00.0 | 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. |
| 0:14.5 | I am Kemper Donovan, and we will be doing no ranking on this episode. We will not even be talking about a single Christy text in particular. |
| 0:24.2 | This is a very special episode of listeners because we will be focused solely on the All About |
| 0:30.3 | Agatha listener mailbag. Normally I do a little mailbag segment or housekeeping segment, |
| 0:36.7 | as I like to call it, on a |
| 0:38.6 | regular episode, and I'm hurrying through it to get to the main content for that week. |
| 0:43.7 | But there will be no hurrying on this episode. |
| 0:47.0 | We will be wallowing in that mailbag. |
| 0:49.4 | We will be living in the All About Agatha mailbag for the next hour or so. |
| 0:54.7 | And I am so excited to live there with you. |
| 0:57.4 | I've just gotten so many great listener messages in the last month or two. |
| 1:02.6 | They piled up at such an alarming rate that I realized, I need to do a mailbag episode. |
| 1:07.9 | And I've gotten such a positive response from so many listeners about the mailbag |
| 1:12.1 | segment, the way that it connects people, it allows us all to feel seen as agathologists or just |
| 1:20.3 | christie nerds. So before we jump into those listener messages, I just want to talk about my upcoming |
| 1:27.1 | tour. I think it was just in the last |
| 1:29.6 | episode that I told you, well, I'm about to go on my tour, so I'm not going to have to bore you |
| 1:34.1 | with details of my book appearances. But unfortunately for you, fortunately for I hope at least a few of |
| 1:41.2 | you, I actually have an additional leg of the tour that I'm doing |
| 1:44.9 | in the near enough future that it actually makes sense to talk about it now. So in the first |
| 1:50.3 | full week of May, the week of May 4th, I have a couple of events lined up. And these are all in |
| 1:57.5 | the south of the United States. I am going to the deep south listeners, |
