This is the Shedunnit Book Club companion episode for October 2020, in which we are reading The Crooked Wreath by Christianna Brand, also often found under the titles Suddenly At His Residence and One Of The Family. There is a brief non-spoilery plot summary included, but you can definitely listen to this even if you haven’t finished the book yet and it won’t ruin the ending. I’ll see you in the Shedunnit forum shortly for our full discussion thread on 31 October.

Further listening for this month: — The Locked Room/Impossible Crime episode of the main podcast — Cui Bono? main episode about inheritance mysteries

The full interview with Jim Noy about impossible crimes will also be coming soon on this feed, which has some more details about Brand’s writing.

Also: — Make sure you vote by 9 October for what we read in November and December!
