Author of the biography Agatha Christie: A Mysterious Life (2007), Laura Thompson, discusses the fabulous Marple mystery set in a small English village, The Moving Finger. She and host Rebecca Thandi Norman talk about Christie's coded-LGBTQ+ characters, which parts of the book they "buy" (and which they don't!), and whether you can enjoy Christies if the ending has been spoiled.
