90. S15E3 The Riviera, Islands and Escapes: Holidaying Abroad (opens the original)
Read excerpt
From luxury resorts to Mediterranean islands, Christie’s holiday mysteries transport readers to places of beauty and adventure. But can people really leave their problems behind when they travel? This episode explores tourism, escapism, and the surprising truth that the most important journeys are often the ones that take place within ourselves.
89. S15E2 Egyptomania and Empire: Ancient Mysteries in a Modern Age (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Ancient tombs, archaeological discoveries, and rumours of curses captivated Christie’s readers. This episode explores the fascination with Egypt that inspired stories such as The Adventure of the Egyptian Tomb and Death on the Nile. We reflect on history, empire, and the enduring question of what truly lasts when human achievements fade.
88. S15E1 The Foreign Detective: Poirot as an Outsider (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Why did Agatha Christie make her detective Belgian? In this opening episode, we explore Poirot’s identity as a refugee, outsider, and observer of British society. Along the way, we consider the unique insights that come from standing slightly apart and what Scripture teaches about welcoming strangers and valuing those on the margins.

Read excerpt
Poirot reaches his twelfth and final labour. In a story of crime, regret and difficult choices, The Capture of Cerberus brings the journey to a fitting conclusion with themes of hope, redemption and the possibility of choosing a different path.
86. S14E5 The Apples of The Hesperides: The Need to Win (opens the original)
Read excerpt
For ten years, Emery Power has pursued a priceless stolen goblet that he has never actually possessed. Poirot’s search raises a fascinating question: when does wanting what is rightfully ours become something more — a need to win, possess and prove a point?
