Well thank goodness I had Caroline Crampton, host of the fabulous Shedunnit podcast, to help me wade through the rather disorienting waters of this, the final novel Agatha Christie ever wrote. Get out your hankies--to wipe away not only your tears, but all the dust and spiders out in the garden shed, a.k.a. "KK." It's time to visit Tommy and Tuppence one last time....

| 0:00.0 | Welcome to all about Agatha, the podcast dedicated to reading and ranking every single mystery |
| 0:10.3 | novel written by the Queen of Crime, Dame Agatha Christie. |
| 0:14.9 | And we are indeed reviewing and ranking a mystery novel by Agatha Christie in this episode. |
| 0:21.7 | This has been a long time coming. |
| 0:23.1 | I know many of you have been looking forward to slash dreading this episode because it |

| 1:01.8 | It's mail back time. |

| 1:28.9 | there were not one but two sets of identical twins living in the place where we grew up. |
| 1:34.6 | So apparently you can forget about identical twins. |

| 1:41.2 | Also after sitting down and thinking about it for a minute, I realized that I came into |
