The Unsolved Case of the Missing Salmon

Join us for a special one-off bonus episode, an end of year Shermozzle!In this special festive episode, we report from the home of British Library Crime Classics, taking a trip down the memory lane of 2025 and bringing back all of our usual features. We read and discussed Murder at the Theatre Royale by Ada Moncrieff, discussed Wake Up Dead Man as well as Frauds in TV Tattle, and got some new intel from Han on Queens of Crime. We also hear from Mads about how our feline mascot settles into his new digs. Other chat includes a sleuthing victory from Mads, the perils of gout and, as always, nemeses. As would only be right for this special episode, we find a use case for the National Archives Currency Converter.
