Summary

It was a dream to be able to sit down with David Morris, and pore over all the priceless goodies he brought with him having to do with Agatha Christie books, art, and ephemera. The following titles are spoiled during the course of our conversation: The Mystery of the Blue Train, Death on the Nile. To watch me watch two gamers play Murder on the Orient Express the videogame while we discuss all things Agatha Christie, click here. This is the first episode of the PBS SoCal series Won't You Be My Gamer? It was a lot of fun. For more of David's scholarly work from a collector's point of view, you can visit his website here, find him on Twitter here, and on Facebook here. You can also check out his upcoming talk at the Agatha Christie Festival here. To visit and subscribe to the podcast's Patreon page, click here. Visit the podcast on Twitter and Instagram.

You can buy my debut mystery novel, The Busy Body, 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.

0:46.4	show me these pieces in person and I honestly feel like it was a major
0:50.8	milestone moment that someone such as he was willing to
0:55.2	share these riceless items having to do with Agatha Christie with me. I felt very
1:02.4	lucky and very honored and it was a fascinating conversation.
1:06.1	I cannot wait to bring that to you in just a few minutes.
1:09.4	I have two matters I would like to cover first. I'm not going to do a proper housekeeping

1:35.7	for the folks I forgot when I did my all about the Americans
1:40.8	of Ag of the Christie.
1:42.3	And in all seriousness, I'm really not embarrassed. This is part of the fun of Ag of the
