Always, Shedunnit. Even if you don't care about the books, Caroline is a lovely host with a great voice. I also really love Garlic and Pearls. The recent one about the British tax year will give you a flavour of how fascinating they can be (and very good company).

It’s the SheDunnit book club book this month, so I’m about to tuck into it. I’ve read it before and it’s 350 pages, with what feels like Moby Dick levels of information about bells. It is interesting, though, and each bell is rung by a different person, so group dynamics comes into it.

As a fan of golden age mysteries & gothic novels, I’ve read many unknown child plots. Interesting how an existential question, how do you prove who someone is, has become a matter of a lab test. Here’s a SheDunnit episode on a famous case from the Victorian era. www.shedunnitshow.com/thetichborne...
The Tichborne Claimant
The golden age of detective fiction was obsessed with identity. The reason why? An extremely melodramatic Victorian legal case involving shipwreck, Shetland ponies and a tangled aristocratic inheritan...

I’m in the US and the first four short story collections are free here bc they’re out of copyright but otherwise I have to get my Mr Fortune fix from interlibrary loan or used book sales…
Incidentally you may enjoy the Shedunnit podcast episode on the fourth Mr Fortune short story collection!

Cheers to alllll the book purchasing #ConfinedCocktails

(Which reminds me, it is the annual Shedunnit podcast pledge drive. Would anyone like a free membership to their book club for one year? Extra content, and plenty of suggestions to read if you like that kind of inspo. I have one to donate.)
Evening. I'm on my way home from a lovely day in London with @clairemargaret.bsky.social and I've spent my birthday book tokens. #ConfinedCocktails

The Shedunnit podcast gives interesting background on the epistolary crime novel as a subgenre. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

This week's episode of the Shedunnit podcast (focused on themes and issues in 'golden age' detective fiction) is about Georgette Heyer's mystery novels and why they aren't more famous in the canon. www.bbc.co.uk/sounds/play/...

I've been delighting in the detective fiction of #GeorgetteHeyer for a few years now so was thrilled that the latest #Shedunnit episode looks at her work www.shedunnitshow.com/thecaseofgeo...

Shedunnit podcast has many episodes on the true crimes behind Golden Era detective fiction, but I don’t know that she’s done that one. I think someone has, but I’ve never actually seen Mousetrap, so I passed it by.

Me encanta uno de cine clásico que se llama "You must remember this", pero no sé si es un tema que te interese. Y otros sobre novelas policiacas que se llaman "Shedunnit" y "All about Agatha (Christie)".

I discovered via Hugh Bonneville reading Sherlock Holmes Short Stories podcast that has been another of my getting to sleep podcasts.
Best of all, usually, is Shedunnit by Caroline Crampton - talking about classic detective stories. I do listen again when awake 😁

My guess is that they are replicating right wing talk radio, designed for people to just have running in the background as they go about their day.

My first fave podcast, SheDunnit, is a tight 25-30 minutes and hour long shows feel very long to my ADHD ears.

Why did I reread Trent's Last Case by EC Bentley? Because Shedunnit were doing an episode with spoiler zones, so I wanted to make the most of it. The mystique surrounding this 1913 book, and its lasting influence, are fascinating.... clothesinbooks.blogspot.com/2025/10/shed...

Amazing! I love his books (indeed the Shedunnit podcast is reading Tragedy at Law in their book club this month, to my joy). With a Bare Bodkin is one of those wartime novels that properly grasps the trials of civil service admin at the time, I think.

I don't know why there's a specific hypochondria theme in Agatha Christie's work but Carolyn Crampton did an interesting episode of her podcast Shedunnit on Hypochondria in Golden Age Detective Fiction you may be interested in (link to transcript if you'd rather read than listen)

I really like the Shedunnit podcast about golden age detective fiction. I think Gaudy Night is the book referred to most often
