Hi, it's Phoebe.

Criminal is working from home these days, probably just like you.

Nothing will change about our episode release schedule, and our other show, This Is Love,

is coming back April 1st.

Season 4 of This Is Love is all about animals.

I, for one, would rather think about wild animals than just about anything else right

now.

I'm already becoming one of those people who spends a lot of time staring at the bird feeder.

One thing that's been making me feel a little more at ease, has been reading fiction.

I started reading Agatha Christie's first published novel, The Mysterious of Faire at Styles,

and I thought, maybe I could read it to you.

A chapter a day, until we get to the end.

No ads, just a good mystery.

We have chapter 1 here, and chapter 2 is waiting for you over in its own feed.

Just search for Phoebe reads a mystery, and we'll have a link in the show notes.

So here we go.

The Mysterious of Faire at Styles by Agatha Christie, chapter 1.

I go to Styles.

The intense interest aroused in the public by what was known at the time as the Styles

case, has now somewhat subsided.

Nevertheless, in view of the worldwide notoriety which attended it, I've been asked, both

by my friend Poirot, and the family themselves, to write an account of the whole story.
