Acclaimed Australian broadcaster and wordsmith Kel Richards is passionate about classical mysteries, and the Golden Age of the 1930s when Agatha Christie and her fellow authors were writing them...
Kel is also an Anglican lay canon, deeply immersed in Narnia creator and theologian C.S. Lewis' Oxford college world and his circle of friends, including Prof. J. R. Tolkien.
Bring all of them together and you have Kel’s Country House Mysteries, featuring Jack Lewis and friends solving brain teasing "closed door" mysteries in 1930's Oxford.
Hi, I’m your host Jenny Wheeler and today on the Binge Reading show Kel talks about his love for old fashioned clue puzzle mysteries – the sort that aren’t generally written any more – as well as his passion for Australian English – one of the richest vocabularies in the world, in his view.
