It's surprising to realize that Agatha Christie wrote about her famous protagonist detective,

Hercule Poirot, as a contemporary, and so did Sir Arthur Cohen Doyle.

His Sherlock Holmes was living and detecting in the same period as Doyle was writing.

These were modern men working on modern crimes with modern methods,

but now these murder mysteries and detective stories have the added allure of historical fiction.

They transport us back in time to Victorian, Edwardian, or World War I eras.

And if you like the delicious collision of history and detective stories,

then do I have a treat for you on today's Saturday, Matt May.

Detectives don't sleep is the new who-done-it podcast from Noiser,
