We discuss chapters 7-8 of María Angélica Bosco's 'Death Going Down', translated by Lucy Greaves. The novel comes to a bewildering end, with dramatic re-enactments, disappearing dogs and apparating new characters with the ability to disappear. This charming Argentinian novel has us a little torn, but we still think it's a worthy read as we come to the pointy end of 2021.

We discuss chapters 20-26 of A Decent Interval by Simon Brett. With the case solved, how can Charles Paris safely separate himself from the crime? We’ve discovered Charles’ moral compass might not be quite centred, but is his resolution satisfying, and how does Simon Brett’s mystery construction hold up to Knox and Van Dine, as well as Flex’s signature method. We’re joined again by Simon Brett to talk about the evolving field of crime fiction, as well as how he uses ‘superstructures’ to help guide his writing and how inspiration doesn’t necessarily lead to unoriginality.

Is the Hojou family cursed, or is something more sinister going on behind the scenes? Whatever the answer is we sure as hell won't have any questions once Ryukishi's done with this. If you're confused, Ben is the one who knows what's going on, Felix is the one who is lost, for now. This is part of an ongoing playthrough of Higurashi no Naku Koro ni.

We discuss the Fourth through Seventh stories in Sins for Father Knox by Josef Škvorecký; A Question of Alibis, Why So Many Shamuses, Miscarriage of Justice, and The Mathematicians of Grizzly Drive. Following Eve Adam's travels from Sweden to San Francisco and beyond, the crimes continue to tail her, with the sins against Father Ronald Knox hot on their tails. As the crimes get more convoluted, can Flex keep up or will he finally be left in the dust by the story? We also chat with Adam Graham from The Great Detectives of Old Time Radio, a monumental podcast collection of the world's best detective fiction radio dramas.
