Gothic media moguls Meg Hafdahl and Kelly Florence,
authors of The Science of Stephen King and co-hosts of the
Horror Rewind podcast called “the best horror film podcast out there” by Film
Daddy, present a guide to the Agatha Christie stories and supersleuths we all
know and love. Through interviews, literary and film analysis, and
bone-chilling discoveries, The Science of Agatha Christie uncovers
the science behind the sixty-six detective novels and fourteen short story
collections that have become an integral part of the modern murder mystery, answering
such questions as:
·
What is the science behind the poisons used to
commit murders in Agatha Christie’s stories?
·
When did crime investigation become more common as
seen in Murder on the Orient Express?
·
Has science made it possible to uncover the truth
behind the investigative powers of Hercule Poirot and Miss Marple?
·
How did Agatha Christie use isolated settings to
best explore the psychology of her characters?
Join Kelly and Meg as they discover why sometimes the impossible must be possible.
