And Then There Were None with Stuart Turton

Tea & Murder: An Agatha Christie Podcast

British author of the bestselling mysteries The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle and Devil and the Dark Water, Stuart Turton knows a thing about crafting a twisted tale. But did you know he's a major Agatha Christie fan? We discuss his favorite Christie book, And Then There Were None, which he calls "one of only two perfect books ever written." Stuart talks about why he comes back to Christie books again and again, and how his own work is influenced by her.
