Ep. 17: Agatha Christie, All Hail the Queen of Crime

In this special episode of Adaptation: The Book to Movie Podcast, Nate and Chris take a look at the literary titan Agatha Christie, known best for writing murder mystery novels and plays like "Murder on the Orient Express," "And Then There Were None" and "Witness for the Prosecution" that have become staples in Hollywood over the last 100 years. They also discuss why readers and cinephiles love mystery, why Agatha's legacy is important despite some problematic language, her own mysterious disappearance and what it really means to create strong female characters. SHOW NOTE: In the episode, Chris mentions a book about sleep. This book is "Why We Sleep: Unlocking the Power of Sleep and Dream" by Matthew Walker.
