Murder In Three Acts

In this episode, we take a look at Murder in Three Acts (aka Three Act Tragedy)

—------------------

We are your hosts:

Gillian Porter - a long-time Agatha Christie reader and collector,

And her husband Alan Porter, who after almost 40 years of sharing a house with Agatha Christie books has decided he should read them.

We’ll be tackling the books in UK publication order as detailed on the official Agatha Christie website, and sharing our thoughts on each from the viewpoint of someone familiar with them, 

and someone reading them for the first time.
