Shedunnit podcast – Death on the Nile and Death Sets Sail!

November 19, 2020

Death on the Nile Shedunnit

I’m very excited to have been asked back on the Shedunnit show (a podcast all about Golden Age detective fiction) to talk about Death Sets Sail, Death on the Nile and the enduring appeal of Egypt as a location for murder mysteries.

I loved talking to Caroline (even though we recorded the episode during the fourth day of the US election last week when I was running on very little sleep and very high anxiety – you’ll hear me forget the words ‘Abu Simbel’ and that’s why!), and I hope you enjoy listening to us too.

Just to let you know that although we do discuss plots, there are NO SPOILERS for the solutions of either Death on the Nile or Death Sets Sail. Also, although I would say that this episode is perfect for my fans of any age, the show itself is created with adult listeners in mind and so it’s possible that not every episode will be as universally appropriate.

You can listen here, or wherever you get your podcasts – happy listening!
