After a “reading slump” Sarah was delighted to be swept away by a powerful new detective, Antigone Pollard; she isn’t afraid of the dark and won’t take no for an answer as she hunts down a sexual predator in the small seaside town of Deception Bay.
And…
Far from being spooked, Cath and Sarah find re-reading Agatha Christie’s crime novels strangely soothing…but both agree she was no poet!
Guests:
Vikki Petraitis, author of “The Unbelieved”
Sarah Tooth, second hand bookshop owner and Agatha Christie devotee
