At Home With Agatha Christie

Come with me on a tour of Greenway.

Special thanks to Clive and everyone at the National Trust for making me and my microphone welcome at Greenway, and to Sarah Thrift for arranging it. I’m also grateful to my friend Elizabeth Minkel, who spent the afternoon doing this even though she has only read one Christie novel in her whole life. She has her own podcast, Fansplaining, which I highly recommend.

Books mentioned in this episode:
Dead Man’s Folly by Agatha Christie
Five Little Pigs by Agatha Christie
Ordeal by Innocence by Agatha Christie
Towards Zero by Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie An Autobiography by Agatha Christie
Tied Up In Tinsel by Ngaio Marsh

Agatha Christie’s England Transcript

Caroline: When you close your eyes and imagine the setting of an Agatha Christie story, what do you see?
