Hello listeners, I am about to share with you a recording of the live episode I presented last week at the International Act of the Christie Festival in England.

I just wanted to take a moment up front to acknowledge something that will be glaringly obvious or should I say echoingly obvious once that episode begins, which is that the audio quality of the recording is trash or rubbish as many of you across the pond might say.

I was lucky enough to be joined at this event by four esteemed co panelists and we had a fantastic time and I really am so eager to share the experience and our thoughts with you, which is why I am going to air this episode, but I had to give this little disclaimer up front because it's a bit hard on the ears.

I'm not going to lie and there are portions of the episode that are difficult to discern.

So just know that going in, I am sharing this content with you in the spirit in which it was created, which is one of passion and enthusiasm and delight.

Unfortunately, five people with microphones in a large hall filled with over 100 people is a wonderful live event, but does not make for such a good audio recording.

So I do apologize about that, but I hope that you're able to get something out of this episode all about Agatha Christie's greatest novel. Here goes.

Welcome to all of Agatha, the podcast I gave you to read it and write me to you.

Every single list will not only provide a complete of crime, they might have received it.

I am here now with it and I am presenting this episode of Agatha here at the 2022 International Agatha Proceed Festival.

It is Wednesday, the 14th of September, I am England.

I am here in the Spanish farm, which for Agatha Christie's home town, which were key or owned county of Devon, just a minute away from where I did some of them were going to be.

Wait until I did two days, I did a bit of a treat store, which for me is about five or three to three hours, but that's a blessing.

It's a great way to do so beautiful.

I've already had more client cream than I should have.

I want to welcome all of you here in the audience to make a journey to be here.

This has been a long time coming from me.

I former partner, Agatha Broadway, and I made the attempt to come in 2020 that did not work out.

We were here remotely in 2021, and now I am thrilled to be here in 2022.

So, if you could all just give a round of applause for the fact that we are all together and we agree.

This is being recorded basically. I just want to make you think you're clear for everyone listening.

What a great turnout we have, so that's why I asked you to applaud.
