0:00.0	Welcome to all about Agatha, the podcast dedicated to reading and drinking every single mystery
0:10.0	novel written by the queen of crime, Dame Agatha Christie.
0:13.9	I am Kemper Donovan, and on this episode, I will be interviewing Ruth Ware.
0:18.8	This is the second time she will be on this podcast.

1:30.2	I know that Catherine was specifically looking forward to having you back on, Ruth, so I'm
1:35.0	just going to have to be extra enthusiastic on my own behalf and on hers as well.
