Women of Mystery
In this programme, presenter Jessica Mann poses the question: why are so many murder mystery writers genteel, conventional, middle-class women? Agatha Christie's biographer, a crime fiction historian and a psychiatrist address this issue in an examination of the life and works of the most successful crime writer of them all.
This broadcast also reveals the culprit in the Murder of Roger Ackroyd at five minutes and 58 seconds into the transmission. Agatha Christie is pictured at the 1937 radio recording of Yellow Iris.
