Murder in Mesopotamia with Caroline Crampton

*Spoilers for Murder in Mesopotamia*Our guest this episode is Caroline Crampton, author and host of the Shedunnit podcast. We discuss Murder in Mesopotamia, a book set in an archeological dig. Christie knew dig sites well, and that's reflected in the details of this book. Rebecca and Caroline discuss how her experiences shaped the book, colonial elements of the narrative, and why this is such a great example of a "closed box" mystery.Listen to Shedunnit's episode on Agatha's Archeologists:https://podcasts.apple.com/dk/podcast/shedunnit/id1439204048?i=1000554935371Pre-order Caroline's upcoming book, A Body Made of Glass:https://bookshop.org/a/87919/9780063273900Next episode's book is The Mystery of the Blue Train:https://bookshop.org/a/87919/9780593685365Have feedback for us?
