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 am

Kemper Donovan, and we have read all of Agatha Christie's novels by this point.

We have ranked all of Agatha Christie's novels by this point.

But that does not mean we cannot talk about those rankings as much as we would like,

I'm happy to say that this episode is going to be a post state of the rankings episode

in which I do a little bit of post game analysis of where the rankings ended up after my conversation

with the one and only Dr. John Kern. I'm also able to do a little compare and contrast project

here I'm thrilled to report because I managed to get my hot little hands on two alternate ranking

grids. Two alternate ranking grids that rank every single one of Agatha Christie's 66

mystery novels. So first up, I want to let you all know that by the time this episode has come out,

I will have posted links to those alternative rankings on the podcast, Twitter and Instagram

and Facebook feeds for good measure. A couple of you reached out after I posted the final

all about Agatha rankings and said that they were really hard to read. So what I'm going to

try to do is to link to a Google Doc, which I think will be much more readable and expandable

for people. We'll see how that works, but I will have posted something by the time you're listening

to this. So if you would like to look at those alternative rankings, I think it would enhance

this conversation greatly, although you do not have to, you can head on over to Twitter. The podcast

is at all about the name or on Instagram at all about Agatha and on Facebook, the Facebook pages

also all about Agatha. First up, before I get into those alternative rankings, I just wanted to

take stock of something that crystallized during my lengthy conversation with Dr. Curran.

And that has to do with the mystery novel titled Nemesis that will probably not come as a surprise
