F
or “Mysteries in May,” the Margos start with the queen of the genre, Agatha Christie, and her 1937 novel Death on the Nile, which was adapted into a film in 1978. It features her famous detective, Hercule Poirot, and is set aboard a luxurious Nile steamer.

However, Simon claims innocence, and Hercule Poirot is called upon to investigate. Which did we (the Margos) prefer? Have a listen to find out.
