I love this statue of Agatha Christie at Torquay Harbour- if only I could ask her whether she’d read about my great-aunt’s murder in 1935! In Episode 5 of #TheMcGintyMystery, I speak to some Agatha experts to try to find out more. Listen on @BBCSounds: bbc.co.uk/programmes/p0pgm7g…

My great-aunt Eva was murdered in Clapham in December 1935, on the night of her daughter’s 13th birthday. At the time she was living under the name Eveline McGinty - and her death was splashed across the newspapers. Years later Agatha Christie published Mrs McGinty’s Dead…

A 1935 murder. A family mystery. And the intriguing possibility that a real-life crime may have helped inspire Agatha Christie… 🔎📚 It’s now all come together in a podcast I’ve produced and presented for @bbcsounds 😊⬇️
