    2. "The Lernaean Hydra": Poirot encounters a curious case of a blackmailer targeting an influential businessman and must unravel the complex web of secrets and hidden identities.

    10. The Hollow (Part One)

      The episode we have all (Josh) been looking forward to. The Hollow is a simple story that leaves this podcast completely divided. One host loves it, one hates it, and one didn't even read it. Listen to their spirited debate and all of the mini debates that ignite, one of which will cause two of the three friends to storm out of the room. All of this and more is promised in this exciting three-part episode!

    12. Sparkling Cyanide

      Sparkling Cyanide/Remembered Death is about a murder in the past and a murder on repeat. We discuss the pitfalls of adapting a short story into a novel, a controversial twist, and an unbelievably bad screen adaptation. Plus, Zak gets a little too honest comparing himself to Edgar Allen Poe, and that’s not even a part of the return of everyone’s favorite game: I Confession! Listen now!

    13. Ken Corner: See How They Run

      2022 featured three major blockbuster releases that featured murder mysteries at their core. See How They Run was sandwiched between a Ken and a Rian. So, how did it do? Is it funny? How is the portrayal of Agatha Christie and Max Mallowan?  And most importantly, what did Ken think? Find out in this installment of the film centric miniseries Ken Corner!

    14. Absent in the Spring by Mary Westmacott

      Josh and Char are haunted by Agatha's third psychological character study Absent in the Spring. After Giant's Bread and Unfinished Portrait, we were skeptic of this mid career offering. But boy oh boy were we pleasantly surprised. This story will stick with us. And we hope it sticks with you!

    15. Ken Corner: A Haunting In Venice Announcement

      In this new miniseries, the hosts discuss the world of cinema with a very special and imaginary guest. Sure, this may just be a manifestation of Josh's dreams, but that doesn't make it any less informative. The hosts discuss the announcement of the third Poirot film in Branagh's Christie-verse. Why did Ken choose Hallowe'en Party? What is his process like? What is his favorite dinosaur? Only one person can answer these questions...and we have someone playing that person.
