About this listen

All About Agatha is a podcast all about, well, Agatha. Agatha Christie, of course: the Queen of Crime, a real-life Dame of the British Empire, and author of sixty-six mystery novels that spanned the Twentieth Century, defining a genre. For five years, Catherine Brobeck and Kemper Donovan revisited these novels in publication order, ranking them according to pre-set criteria (plot, character, etc.). Tragically, Catherine Brobeck passed away at the end of 2021. She will be forever missed. Since then, Kemper has completed the podcast's ranking project, and continues to celebrate the greatness of Christie by attempting to solve the ultimate mystery where she is concerned. Why Christie--and Christie alone--endures as powerfully as she does.All rights reserved Art Literary History & Criticism

  • Interview with Author Margot Douaihy
    Apr 25 2026

    It was a thrill first to read and then to discuss Margot's books, which feature a rare blend of hard-boiled noir (from a female perspective) and the sort of clued mysteries familiar to any Christie fan.

    Learn more about Margot's books here, and her overall magnificence.

  • Interview with Tina Hodgkinson, Author of Agatha Christie's London: A Historical Guide to the Queen of Crime's Capital
    Apr 11 2026

    People sometimes forget that the Queen of Crime used an urban setting for many of her mysteries--that city overwhelmingly tending to be London. Allow this episode to serve as a joyous reminder, and special thanks to Tina Hodgkinson for sitting down with me and disclosing a number of the fun and fascinating facts to be found in her recent book.

    You can check out Tina's book here.
