Summary
My former co-host Catherine Brobeck loved this short story, and this episode about this short story. And so do I! It's also one of the short stories under discussion at this year's upcoming International Agatha Christie Festival in September, during which my co-panelists and I will crown Agatha Christie's Greatest Short Story. Take a listen to the first part of the episode for a sneak peek at the other stories we'll be debating. Happy Summer, everyone!

| 0:00.0 | Hello all about Agatha listeners, I am not doing my usual intro because that intro is yet |
| 0:10.0 | to come. Today I am bringing you a summer rerun. I am currently on vacation or on holiday |
| 0:17.2 | as those of you across the pond would say. So I decided to replay a previous episode from |
| 0:22.8 | the rather bulky back catalog. All about Agatha has built up over the years. This episode |
| 0:29.6 | you're about to listen to is all about the Agatha Christie short story accident. This episode |
| 0:36.2 | dropped all the way back on September 7th 2018. The podcast was not quite two years old at that |
| 0:42.5 | point. My dear friend Catherine Brobeck is of course co-hosting this episode. So I love that this |
| 0:49.2 | is another opportunity to hear her voice and keep her fresh in our memories. I know she is always |
| 0:56.0 | fresh in mine and her mother Linda's and many others. But there is another reason that I chose to |
| 1:01.6 | rerun this episode. In September I will be hosting another live episode at the International |
| 1:08.4 | Agatha Christie Festival. Many of you have bought tickets. There are not many tickets left actually. |
| 1:14.5 | So if you haven't yet bought a ticket and you are listening to me right now, I urge you to go to |
| 1:19.2 | the festival website. I will provide a link in the show notes to this episode and to purchase a ticket |
| 1:24.9 | to my event and I hope as many other events as you can attend because they are all fabulous. |
| 1:29.8 | It's such a lovely festival for any Christie lover who can make the trip to southwest England |
| 1:35.4 | to Turkey. Anyway the subject of my panel which is happening Thursday the 14th of September at |
| 1:42.6 | 7pm in the Spanish barn is figuring out Agatha Christie's greatest short story and I will not be |
| 1:50.0 | doing this alone. I will be doing this with such luminaries in the field of Christie scholarship |
| 1:55.0 | as Dr. John Curran, Dr. Jamie Bernthal Hooker, Dr. Mark Aldridge, and Christie fan extraordinaire and |
| 2:03.8 | author of the smart women crime mysteries, a beloved mystery author to many of you Victoria |
| 2:09.9 | Dowd. So we will be debating as to which among Christie's 100 plus short stories is the best |
| 2:16.9 | short story. We are not going to be discussing every short story by Agatha Christie, |
