We've all seen the headlines in the news of how somebody lost their life in an act of cold-blooded murder, and it grabs your attention,

but have you ever stopped to think about the life of the person at the center of the news story?

These victims were way more than a salacious headline. I'm Eric Carter-Londine, and my podcast, The Murder and

my family dives into some of those stories to help listeners get to know the person who was lost and how their death affected those closest to them.

Listen to the murder of my family everywhere you listen to podcasts. Welcome to a live episode of 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 once again for the third year in a row.

I am here in Agatha land in Lovely Devon on the south coast of England in

Agatha Christie's birthplace of Torqui. It is Thursday, September 12th and

this episode is coming to you from the Spanish Barn at Tor Abbey.

For five years, I co-hosted the All About Ag of the Podcast with my beloved co-creator and co-host,

Catherine Brobeck.

Tragically, Catherine passed away at the end of 2021.

So for almost three years now,

I have been hosting the podcast solo.

In addition to podcasting, I give vent to my own obsession with all things Ag of the Christie and mystery by writing my own fiction.

My debut mystery novel, The Busy Body, is currently out in multiple territories, including a physical paperback copy that has just become

available here in England.

And you know what, the book wasn't supposed to be available until December, but my publisher here,

the wonderful people at Little Brown they decided to make it

available a little early so that we could sell and sign some copies here at the

Ag of the Christie Festival. Last year I was complaining that I didn't have a UK publisher and this year I will be signing copies in the UK what a difference a year makes.
