This book is murder in a bottle, featuring a Scooby-Doo gang of all our fav detectives solving the murder of a mephistophelian poseur during a bridge game. It registered only a 6 on The Portia Scale, but Amanda thinks it's peak Poirot and thinks would be a great first book to introduce a new reader to Agatha Christie. The episode is super rambling with "Bobby got a sandwich" tangents including: mercury retrograde, boobs, challenging conversations about language in the context of African American Vernacular English, appropriation, code switching, racism, and white supremacy. We occasionally remember to discuss the plot, which brilliantly features the character of Mrs. Oliver as a stand in for Christie herself, as a vehicle for both self-depreciating humor and jabs at the audience.
