Two friends, read and chat about murder mysteries. We investigate a real-life case using advice from murder mystery authors. We review a book, find the sleuthing tips and hopefully, solve the case. We also crown our very own Queens of Crime, beyond Agatha Christie. And we have a feline sidekick, called Hercule. Come for the mystery, stay for the mischief...
