Join us for our festive episode with A Surprise for Christmas and Other Seasonal Mysteries. This is from the British Library Crime Classics series and edited by Martin Edwards.
We focus on the four stories written by women:
- The Black Bag Left on a Doorstep - Catharine Louisa Pirkis
- Death on the Air- Ngaio Marsh
- On Christmas Day in the Morning- Margery Allingham
- Give Me a Ring - Anthony Gilbert
No spoilers- we don't reveal whodunnit.
In Mystery Business, we talk about new books inspired by Agatha Christie. Maddy wins at Secret Santa.
In TV Tattle, we recommend mysteries for post Christmas viewing.
We exchange badinage on pantomimes, olden times Christmas games and pints of cream.
