Tea & Murder: An Agatha Christie Podcast Rebecca Thandi Norman

Danish composer Matias Vestergård joins the podcast to discuss his love of the Orient Express (the train, not the book), writing an Agatha Christie-inspired opera, and why boats are such a great setting for both a mystery and, as it turns out, an opera.

Author Jean Kwok discusses A Caribbean Mystery, the Miss Marple book she took inspiration from in her latest story, "The Jade Empress." This story is part of the new MARPLE book: 12 Miss Marple stories by 12 different authors.
She chats about what it was like to take on such an icon, how Agatha Christie was part of her journey in learning English, and why Miss Marple is really a modern character. Plus we discuss Agatha Christie's sense of humor and how she subverts the underdog trope with both Marple and Poirot.

Creative Director and host of Netflix's Tiny Mic Interviews, Michael Brown knows good cinema. His sincere love of Kenneth Brannagh's "Death on the Nile" film brings him to Tea & Murder, where he and host Rebecca Thandi Norman discuss the differences between the film and the book (can you guess which they prefer?), what makes something camp, and whether there really ever could be enough champagne to fill the Nile. They also discuss how to modernize the adaptations of Christie books, and whether this version succeeds in doing so. This is Michael's first time reading an Agatha Christie book; find out if he'll be reading more in the future.
NOTE: There is a spoiler for both the book and film Death on the Nile at 23:44 - 24:00. Please fast forward if you do not want spoilers.
