| 0:00.0 | When I tell people what this podcast is about, one of the first questions that I usually |
| 0:09.8 | get asked is if I'm worried about running out of things to talk about, and I suppose |
| 0:15.2 | that is not an unreasonable concern, if you are only aware of the work of Agatha Christie |
| 0:20.6 | and perhaps a few of the other more popular crime writers from the 1920s and 30s. |

| 1:32.4 | I opened up the hotline to members of the She Done It book club a couple of weeks ago, |
| 1:37.2 | asking for their very specific book recommendation requests. |
| 1:41.3 | Say you want to read a golden age mystery with a parrot in it, or one where there's a |
| 1:45.8 | car chase, or you've already enjoyed all the books by one famous author and want something |
