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 I am Claire Wells.

And this is our second episode together, Claire and I. A few episodes ago,

we covered the doctors of Agatha Christie. And now we are back as promised to discuss

the nurses of Agatha Christie. I am so thrilled to have Claire here again. And listeners,

she really brought it with her research into nurses. So get ready. This is going to be quite the episode. I am just going to run through

Claire's bio again briefly, but I will refer you to our doctor's episode in which we chatted

a bit more about Claire's love of Christy and went in a little more depth into

her background. We won't repeat ourselves here too much because we have too much material to cover.

So Claire Wells is from Worcestershire, England, and she now lives in Reno, Nevada, here in the

United States. She is a longtime fan of the All About Agatha podcast

and has been an avid reader of Agatha Christie

since her early 20s when she picked up her first

Christie novel on a transatlantic flight

from the UK to the US, five little pigs, no less,

and immediately became hooked.

I believe I made the really bad pun

in our doctor's episode that you could say

it was love in the clouds, but I'm going to improve that bad pun in our doctor's episode that you could say it was love in the clouds,

but I'm going to improve that bad pun by amending it slightly because when I listened back to the episode,

I saw a missed opportunity. Obviously, it was birth in the clouds, the birth of a Christy lover.
