In this Halloween special episode of the Whodunnit Dinners podcast, hosts Katie McLaughlin and Helen Barbour get autumnal chills. They discuss the works of Stephen King, focusing on his themes and characterization (and very distinctive way of writing about food), before transitioning to Agatha Christie short stories. The conversation highlights the interplay between food and murder in literature, as well as the supernatural elements present in both authors' works. The episode concludes with some tv recommendations for readers and a light-hearted banter about future specials.
