Agatha Christie, of course: the Queen of Crime, a real-life Dame of the British Empire, and author of sixty-six mystery novels that spanned the Twentieth Century, defining a genre. For five years, Catherine Brobeck and Kemper Donovan revisited these novels in publication order, ranking them according to pre-set criteria (plot, character, etc.). Tragically, Catherine Brobeck passed away at the end of 2021. She will be forever missed. Since then, Kemper has completed the podcast's ranking project, and continues to celebrate the greatness of Christie by attempting to solve the ultimate mystery where she is concerned. Why Christie--and Christie alone--endures as powerfully as she does.","last_synced_at":null,"page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/all-about-agatha-christie-959061"},"episode":{"title":"Interview with Ragnar Jónasson, Mystery Author and Erstwhile Agatha Christie Translator","slug":"interview-with-ragnar-j-nasson-mystery-author-and-erstwhile-agatha-christie-translator","published_at":"2025-12-13T03:30:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/all-about-agatha-christie-959061/interview-with-ragnar-j-nasson-mystery-author-and-erstwhile-agatha-christie-translator","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/all-about-agatha-christie-959061","url":"https://bleav.com/shows/all-about-agatha-christie/","audio_url":"https://pscrb.fm/rss/p/mgln.ai/e/1385/injector.simplecastaudio.com/d8115215-7700-49cd-9bb9-8d422a415f6a/episodes/99665403-4008-4074-93eb-29c0da70a366/audio/128/default.mp3?aid=rss_feed&awCollectionId=d8115215-7700-49cd-9bb9-8d422a415f6a&awEpisodeId=99665403-4008-4074-93eb-29c0da70a366&feed=UP2Isnsy","summary":"It's always a pleasure to commune with a legitimate Christie obsessive, and Ragnar is about as legit as they come. You may know him as one of the leading voices of contemporary noir, but he has also translated a number of Christie novels from English into his native Icelandic--starting at the tender age of seventeen, no less! You can find out more about Ragnar and his work here, on his website. In particular, we discussed his most recent (and Golden Age-inflected) work, The Mysterious Case of the Missing Crime Writer. You can now pre-order Sweet Spot, the third book in my Ghostwriter Mysteries series. (Coming out July 2026.) To visit and subscribe to the podcast's Patreon page, click here. Visit the podcast on Instagram, and me personally at my author website. Loose Lips, the second book in my Ghostwriter Mysteries series, is currently available for purchase. You can also buy The Busy Body, the first book in my Ghostwriter Mysteries series, in paperback at your bookseller of choice (make it an indie if you possibly can) in the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia and New Zealand.","meta_description":"It's always a pleasure to commune with a legitimate Christie obsessive, and Ragnar is about as legit as they come.
