A Hercule Poirot Amuse-Bouche: The Affair at the Victory Ball by Agatha Christie

How have we not covered Christie's first published Poirot short story yet?! Consider this a master class in some of the fundamental tropes she would go on to use many, many times. Actors, costumes, a temporal deception, even the harlequinade! Add to that a real-world, "ripped-from-the-headlines" analogue, and what more could two Christie podcasters want? (Well, we could always use more Miss Lemon in the Suchet adaptation, but we can't have everything.) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.
