It's our final interview of season 3! Host Rebecca Thandi Norman talks with G.T. Karber, the creator and author of Murdle murder mystery puzzles. What started as an online game has become a whole universe, with books, a board game, live events, and event the upcoming Murdle Junior!

Karber and Rebecca discuss the first Miss Marple novel, Murder at the Vicarage, and how Miss Marple changes over the course of her series. The chat about Miss Marple's power of invisibility, comfort reading, and why Rebecca loves Murdle so much.

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.

Who else could make Rebecca re-read a Tommy and Tuppence book other than the fantastic Teresa and Bill Peschel of Peschel Press? They discuss how the book reflects the style and interests of the time, the parody aspect of the book, and whether Rebecca actually enjoyed reading this one (surprise: she did!).

Teresa, who wrote a book of reviews of Christie adaptations, Agatha Christie, She Watched, talks them through the various adaptations of this book. Bill explains his work in creating the annotated version of the novel, and why he thinks annotated books are so important.
