  • Summary

  • In this episode of Tea & Murder, host Rebecca Thandi Norman and Professor Caroline Derry discuss A Murder is Announced. One of Rebecca's favorite Marples, this book includes one of Christie's most obvious lesbian-coded couples as well as an in-depth look at English village life in a post-WWII world.


    Rebecca and Caroline talk about the wonderful round-robin scene at the beginning of the book (a classic!), other LGBTQ-coding in Christie's work, and what this coding reflects about the time Christie was writing.
