Film historian Sergio Angelini joins Caroline to discuss a rather cinematic whodunnit.

No major plot spoilers until you hear Caroline say we are "entering the spoiler zone", at 20:40. After that, expect full spoilers.

A full list of titles in the Penguin series can be found at penguinfirsteditions.com. The next book discussed in this series will be The Documents in the Case by Dorothy L. Sayers and Robert Eustace.

You can find Sergio's podcast, Tipping My Fedora, about all things crime fiction and film noir, in all good podcast apps.
