About this episode

It's always a pleasure to commune with a legitimate Christie obsessive, and Ragnar is about as legit as they come. You may know him as one of the leading voices of contemporary noir, but he has also translated a number of Christie novels from English into his native Icelandic--starting at the tender age of seventeen, no less! You can find out more about Ragnar and his work here, on his website. In particular, we discussed his most recent (and Golden Age-inflected) work, The Mysterious Case of the Missing Crime Writer. You can now pre-order Sweet Spot, the third book in my Ghostwriter Mysteries series. (Coming out July 2026.) To visit and subscribe to the podcast's Patreon page, click here.…
