BEST OF (#58 of 562) THE JEWEL ROBBERY AT THE GRAND METROPOLITAN A HERCULE POIROT MYSTERY by AGATHA CHRISTIE Apr 18, 2025

Show notes

Poirot can't resist a case, even when holidaying in Brighton with Hastings. When a necklace goes missing, the case is a simple matter of logic for the little Belgian.

This was only the second of Agatha Christie's short stories to appear in print. In the UK, it appeared in The Sketch magazine on the 14th March 1923 as The Curious Disappearance of the Opalsen Pearls and in the US it appeared in October 1923 as Mrs Opalsen's Pearls.

The story was first published as a book in the collection Poirot Investigates, 1924, by Bodley Head. The story was adapted for the TV series Agatha Christie's Poirot in 1993, starring David Suchet, and like many of the other early episodes, included the characters of Hastings, Japp and Miss Lemon, regardless of whether or not they appeared in the original text. It was adapted as the first episode of the Japanese anime Agatha Christie's Great Detectives in 2004, which involved Poirot teaming up with Miss Marple's great niece.

EDGAR ALLAN POE: HOP FROG AND TRIPETTA Apr 13, 2025

Show notes

Edgar Allan Poe wasn't just known for horror- he also had a sense of humor and a deep sense of justice for those who had been wronged. In this story, a French king who likes to play extravagent jokes on his guests decides to use his two dwarfs, which had been captured and sent to him by one of his generals, as the evenings' entertainment. The man dwarf, HopFrog, had earned that name from the King due to his crippled leg which kept him from standing up straight, and causing him to hop using his strong arms to help him move. Tripetta was also a dwarf, very pretty, and an excellent dancer. The two had become close friends since their capture. On this night the king becomes abusive- and Hop Frog includes a surprise in the evening's entertainment.

Warning!!!! This episode contains the words "fat", dwarf" and probably a few others which were used in 1848. These words could send certain people into a "swoon". Keep smelling salts handy near your snuff box, as Abigail Adams used to do.

THE MARK OF THE BEAST by RUDYARD KIPLING Apr 06, 2025

Show notes

Two cultures collide when a group of British overseers meet for a regional planning session in India's outback, have too much to drink, and one of them defaces a statue outside a temple.

The offender is almost immediately confronted by a naked leper called Silver Man who leaves a bite mark on his chest- causing a physiological change in the coming hours that will rock their non-believing world.
