We discuss chapters 10-17 of Agatha Christie's 10th Miss Marple Novel, A Caribbean Mystery. A second murder has shaken up the holidaygoers in St Honoré. One of the hotel staff, Victoria, found dead by a bloodied Molly Kendal. Molly was seen roaming with the knife that did her in, but no alibi seems to quite line up. Has a killer struck twice, or is desperation turning more of us to monsters? It's up to Herds to find out...
We're also joined by Nicola Moriarty to talk about her latest novel 'Every Last Suspect', expanding our week of complex marriages to talk about the chaos that protagonist-of-sort Harriet Osman is left to reflect on in a pool of her own blood as she tries to leave a message to solve her own murder.
Thank you to Harper Collins for providing copies of Every Last Suspect, and arranging our time with Nicola.
