Five Little Pigs Oct 28, 2024

Show notes

We're kicking off season nine and a whole new era with the melancholy Christie Classic, Five Little Pigs.

When Poirot is approached by the daughter of an artist who was murdered 14 years ago, he sets out to find out whether her mother was guilty of the tragic crime. As he's presented with five versions of the same story from five very different people, can Poirot determine the truth from the memories and figure out who is telling porkies, or was Caroline Crale truly a dirty swine?

Evil Under The Sun Sep 29, 2024

Show notes

Slather on your sunblock, mes amis! We're kicking off season eight with Evil Under the Sun and it's a scorcher of a mystery.

Poirot's attempt at rest and relaxation is foiled once again when a notoriously flirtatious starlet is found strangled on the beach of the health resort. But when all of the suspects have air-tight alibis, who could possibly be the killer? Luckily Poirot has Captain Hastings, Inspector Japp and Miss Lemon on hand to help solve the case one last time...

N.B. We talk about the second "A Very Hercule Hallowe’en Online Murder Mystery Night" in the episode - unfortunately, this has now sold out! Apologies if we got your hopes up, mes amis, and thank you to everyone who purchased a ticket!

Show notes

It's intrigue time once more as Poirot, Hastings, Japp and Miss Lemon are on the mysterious trail of the killer of the original Edge Lord himself, Lord Edgware - the ultimate pain in the neck who's been found with a dagger sticking from his jugular...

Could the culprit be a disgruntled theatre writer, a "remarkable" impressionist, a jealous duke, or something far more sinister?

Murder On The Links Jul 28, 2024

Show notes

Yet another holiday is ruined for Poirot and Hastings when a businessman tells them his life is in danger and he's then found stabbed to death on a nearby golf course the following day.

Can Poirot see through the déjà vous surrounding the case and solve the murder before a pipe-smoking rival? Can Hastings put his head before his heart when he meets the woman of his dreams? It's all par for the (golf) course in this classic Christie story.
