I know some of you are, like me, fans of mystery novels, including or especially classics. One of the podcasts I love is Shedunnit, which focuses primarily on crime fiction between the world wars--the Golden Age. Here's a link to the newsletter the host, Caroline Crampton, sent out this week. She's looking at epistolary crime novels. Even if you don't want to listen to the podcast (which usually runs between 20 and 25 minutes), the newsletter is a fun quick read which includes some examples, some of which I've read and others which sound interesting. This is the podcast that introduced me to the work of ECR Lorac a few years ago, among other authors I'd never heard of. Because if there's one thing I need it's more books on my 'want to read' list! 😁😂😏😉

I don't listen to podcasts but I'll give this one a try because I do enjoy crime fiction. Thanks for sharing the link.
I happened to hear her on the radio about 7 years ago when it was a new podcast. Otherwise I might never have known. I'm glad Bill turned the radio on when he did. 😀
As far as I know, I have never listened to a podcast and I don’t read crime fiction. I am hiding my head in shame, Shari. I am sure that in your world that makes me a Philistine, but it’s the sad truth. I have five books awaiting reading -none of them fiction. The world of nature truly gives me all the excitement, mystery and intrigue I need. I know that’s probably a cliché, but for me it’s true. And it gets better every day.
I think everyone should read what makes them happy, David. I like a mix of fiction and nonfiction and what I read depends on my frame of mind. I'm definitely a mood reader. Enjoy your books! 😀
