- Ep. 114 - Can We Solve THE BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES "No Return Ticket"
Hercule Poirot ain't all that. Jacob makes this bold claim—but can he back it up on this train mystery?
We’re back to New Zealand for The Brokenwood Mysteries, season 12's "No Return Ticket"—a vintage train murder filmed at the very station we visited last year. When a bride is killed and dumped from a steam train, suspects pile up faster than the mayor's puzzle collection.
But can we get as baroque as a train mystery requires? Is it a King Lear story? A conspiracy of roses? Or a vivid, in-real-life demonstration of a grade school math word problem? Will any of our guesses survive contact with the actual plot? Hit play and find out.

1 hr 1 min - Ep. 113 - ENOLA HOLMES 3
We’re back in the Mediterranean and back in time as we visit the Victorian era, just in time for Enola Holmes’ wedding. Or are we? Will she actually go through with the wedding? Is Sherlock actually kidnapped? Does Inigo Montoya actually make a cameo in this movie?
Jessica gets distracted by Henry Cavill’s dreaminess, Helena Bonham Carter's allure, and the no-holds-barred amazingness of Enola Holmes’ parade of wedding dresses. Jacob, of course, stays 100% on target and isn’t distracted by minor banking intrigue from the 1800s at all. Is there any way they could still possibly get it right? Listen and find out!

1 hr 1 min - Ep. 112 - Cluedunnit Interviews Brendon Connelly!
Jacob and Jessica sit down with writer Brendon Connelly to talk about his upcoming BBC Radio 4 mystery series “Done to Death” — a cozy murder mystery with a sharp edge. Set in the fictional town of Wickleford and centered on a book club, every episode flips another classic mystery trope on its head. Brendon sent us a preview to listen to. We loved it and think you will, too! It premieres Sept. 8 on BBC Radio 4.
While he was here, though, Brendon couldn’t resist chiming in on our LUDWIG “locked room” argument or giving Jacob a little flack for stealing Jessica’s questions. In short, Jacob was wrong a lot this episode — which, well, by now he’s used to it. (I mean, have you listened to the previous hundred episodes? He’s gotten used to being wrong.)
But he’s right about this: You will love “Done to Death.” Check it out at https://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/m003172l.

59 min - Ep. 111 - Can We Solve MURDER SHE WROTE, “A Killing in Vegas”?
The fern is dead. Long live the fern. Jacob and Jessica are casting for a new houseplant while diving into a Vegas-set “Murder, She Wrote” that takes 25 minutes to produce a body — but delivers two murders and seven suspects with more motives than a casino has sequins.
Special guest Tim Benzie, creator of the wildly fun Solve Along a Murder She Wrote live show stops by to talk camp, panto, the "Fame-o-meter," his dream of global Jessica Jogs, and the one rule nobody knows.
Meanwhile, Jacob's indignation reaches peak levels over Jessica Fletcher flying Southwest. Salt shakers stand in for suspects. Someone theorizes the hotel owner is secretly communicating via sequins and Angela Lansbury mispronounces "Nevada."
Both hosts lock in their guesses — but did either of them nail it? You'll have to listen to find out if someone walked out of Vegas a winner!

1 hr 19 min - Ep. 110 - "The Thursday Murder Club"
Jacob and Jessica are back with a special episode — and Jacob is still working through some video anxiety. Meanwhile, Jessica nearly wore orange pants, and honestly that would have changed everything.
This week's pick comes courtesy of returning guest Eloise Corvo, author of the Stone's Throw Mystery series. (Her sophomore novel Tunnel Vision is out now — go read it!) She recommended The Thursday Murder Club, the 2025 film adaptation of Richard Osman's beloved novel series. Eloise joins the pod before the guesses to talk about her new book, prohibition-era Chicago mob history in northern Michigan, her lifelong Halloween devotion, and why she dressed as Dracula for four years straight as a child.
In the movie, four sharp-as-ever retirees at the gorgeously impractical Cooper's Chase retirement community (no nuns lived like this, Jacob insists) spend their Thursdays solving cold cases — until a real murder lands in their backyard. Stars Dame Helen F*ing Mirren, Pierce Brosnan, Ben Kingsley, Celia Imrie, David Tennant in full snakey-hipped villain mode, Jonathan Pryce, and Tom Ellis, who may or may not actually know how to ice skate. The debate is lively. Tom Ellis, you are welcome on this podcast anytime to defend yourself.
Did we guess correctly? Did we at least guess how many times Pierce Brosnan got to say “plonker”? Listen and find out!

1 hr 9 min - Ep. 109 - BROKENWOOD MYSTERIES - "They're Out There"
A dead chef. A crop circle. A UFO convention descending on Brokenwood. This week Jacob and Jessica are back in New Zealand for the Season 12 opener of The Brokenwood Mysteries TV show. Can we solve whodunit before Detective Mike Shepherd drops the big reveal, given that it is absolutely not aliens? Or maybe it is?
Jessica does, in fact, guess aliens, but somehow her guess that doesn’t involve aliens is even stranger. Jacob’s guess nearly gets him on the wrong side of Kiwis everywhere, but are either of them correct?
Along the way: Jessica defends the word "molded" to a skeptical Midwesterner, and they attempt to settle the matter once and for all by considering writing to Green Day. They also break down why Frodo is the true MVP of every episode, why a groundskeeper assaulting a detective is somehow completely fine, and why a character wanting to be married to aliens is the saddest and most relatable thing they've heard in a cozy mystery in a long time.

59 min - Ep. 108 - DEATH VALLEY - Series 1, Episode 6 (The one at the high school reunion)
This episode we’re covering Death Valley, the Welsh cozy mystery on BritBox that's basically Midsomer Murders but with even more unpronounceable town names and a retired actor solving crimes for fun. This is also our first video episode! Come check us out on YouTube or patreon.com/cluedunnitpodcast!
In this episode: Retired TV detective actor John Chapel (Timothy Spall) teams up with eager-but-junior DS Janie Mallowan (Gwyneth Keyworth) to investigate a murder at a 15-year high school reunion.
The guesses:
- 🌿 Jessica suspects the school administrator — a Ray Gruber from Fisk type who, in her fully elaborated theory, murders Dean to avoid hiring the odious Rhys into his will-and-trust side business. It's... intricate.
- 💪 Jacob goes with the momfluencer Rhiannon — the aromatherapist influencer whose rock is Rhys.
Things that came up:
- Jacob's pop-up sign at work is actively trying to eat his fingers
- Timothy Spall: RADA-trained, Royal Shakespeare Company veteran, Harry Potter's Peter "Wormtail" Pettigrew, Enchanted henchman, and cancer survivor. Also: possible eyebrow toupee.
- Jessica accidentally calls Harry Potter "Harry Tale"
- Wales vs. Hawaii: a linguistic theory about where all the consonants went
What we learned:
- DS Janie Mallowan's name is a double Agatha Christie homage: "Mallowan" (Christie's second husband Max Mallowan) + "Jane" (Miss Jane Marple's first name)
- Director Simon Hynd also helmed Ghosts, Motherland, and Can You Keep a Secret (Dawn French fakes her own death)
Standings: Jacob leads. Jessica has no jerseys. No motives. Nothing.

57 min - Ep. 107 - A TASTE FOR MURDER - “Torta Della Nonna (Granny’s Birthday Cake)”
Jacob and Jessica are back to guess the murderer before the credits roll — this time on the new BritBox cozy crime drama “A Taste for Murder,” set on the stunning island of Capri. Between mispronounced Italian, a suspicious water pump, and debates about apps worth $20 million, will they somehow find the killer?
In This Episode:
- Show Intro: A Taste for Murder – A British detective retreats to Capri after his wife's death and ends up, naturally, investigating murders with his teenager in tow. Jacob cannot stress enough how hard it is to feel sorry for someone whose tragedy-coping mechanism is Capri.
- The Cast Breakdown – Jessica runs through the credits, including a former two-time world Thai boxing champion turned actor, a young actress who played mini Harry Styles in a music video, and the beloved Mrs. Hughes from Downton Abbey (sorry, IMDB — everyone knows that's her biggest role)
- "Suck it, AI — get your head in the game." — Jessica, on IMDB's algorithm
- The Episode Recap: "Torta Della Nonna" – A British tourist in a fuchsia dress turns up dead on the rocks below Tiberius Leap. The clues: no shoes, a shredded prenup, a duplicitous boyfriend, a beauty therapist, and a cousin nobody knew existed.
- The Guesses – Jessica thinks: grifter, jealous boyfriend, push. Jacob thinks: influencer, depressed girlfriend, made to look like a mental health episode. Jacob wins. Jessica graciously concedes.
- "She said she'd give it to me. That means I win." — Jacob
- Funny Moments:
- Jacob's take on the dad dragging his teenage daughter off a date to go chase a murderer together: "What teenage daughter doesn't want to participate in police work?"
- The duo debating whether the Brit detective has earned the right to "retreat to Capri" after a tragedy, leading to: "My definition of tragedy changes drastically when Capri is an option."
- Jessica storming into the kitchen at 4 AM thinking Jacob was a burglar — he was feeding the cat. A plate broke. Chaos ensued.
- The coroner who doesn't want to share information with the police — a first in TV history according to Jacob and Jessica.
- The mysterious restaurant water pump that Joe keeps splashing his face with, now appearing in multiple episodes. Theories welcome.
- The Naples police station overrun with plants, many of which were not thriving.
- Jacob learning what "EVOO" means approximately 20 years after everyone else.
- The pronunciation gauntlet: Italian cast names, episode titles in Italian, and the word "Neapolitan."
- Fun History Fact – Tiberius Leap: Emperor Tiberius used that exact cliff to execute servants he didn't like. The Virgin Mary now watches over it. It's fine.
- Christie's Rating – Jessica gives it 3; Jacob argues for at least 5 (cahoot situation, multiple alibis, prenup shredded the wrong way). They meet somewhere in the middle.

1 hr - Ep. 106 - WILL TRENT - "The Man from Nowhere"
Don’t let it be said that Will Trent has no style, even if it is “repressed brown green.” Instead, Jessica takes umbrage at other costume choices and reveals a secret SO SHOCKING that Jacob has to journal about it. We also try to dig in and remember our 20s, just to see if Gen Z folks are being ageist towards Gen X, or if we were that obnoxious too. (Or in Jacob’s case, how far into the 30s his obnoxious-ness lasted.)
We watched WILL TRENT, season 4, episode 4, “The Man from Nowhere.”

1 hr - Ep. 105 - MATLOCK (2024) - "Tomorrow Is Still Tomorrow"
Come celebrate the newest Cozy Mystery holiday with us and an episode of MATLOCK. Yes, we know that people celebrate cozy mysteries on Agatha Christie’s birthday in the fall — but c’mon! February was cold and dark and we could all use a little more cozy in it. So break out our noisemakers and fire up the confetti cannons, because we’re eating hot chicken and singing along with Whitney Houston while we watch this episode!
We watched MATLOCK, season 2, episode 3, “Tomorrow Is Still Tomorrow.”
