A Special HALLOWE'EN SPOOKTACULAR Episode: In a Glass Darkly by Agatha Christie Oct 28, 2023

Show notes

'Tis the season for a spooky Christie story, and this one does not disappoint. On the contrary, I would argue it raises the bar by marrying elements of the supernatural and the rational, all in one text. Apparently you can have a trick and a treat; you don't have to choose!
