Absolutely zero spoilers!

In this Halloween special, Poirot Pals delves into one of Agatha Christie’s most intriguing mysteries—her infamous 1926 disappearance, a real-life whodunit that captivated a nation.

Channel your inner sleuth as we paint a picture of Christie’s life in Sunningdale, where fame from The Murder of Roger Ackroyd mixed with personal shadows, including her husband Archie’s affair with Nancy Neele. Was her vanishing an act of amnesia, a planned escape, or a clever ruse? We’ll explore the emotional turmoil and societal pressures of 1920s England that might have contributed.

Alongside famous detectives and fans, we consider theories from dissociative states to revenge schemes, even touching on Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's psychic involvement. Christie’s disappearance continues to inspire popular culture, from the 1979 film Agatha to a memorable Doctor Who episode.

With Halloween approaching, grab a fall-inspired drink, and join us for storytelling magic. Share your theories with us in your best British accent, and celebrate Agatha Christie’s legacy and love of mystery!
