#JonathanCreek returns in this new play text from David Renwick. A love letter to the fans of the television series, packed with Easter eggs and nostalgia, here is the Whodunnit Whisperings review. A successfully crowdfunded project from @idiotboxbooks.bsky.social.

Jonathan Creek: The Fantom of the Acropolis (2026)
Renwick’s Creek returns with warmth, wit and Maddy back in the fold, though nostalgia sometimes overshadows the promise of a fresh mystery.

Undiscovered for six decades and finally released in 2014, this novella provides a fascinating insight into the writing processes of Agatha Christie.

Hercule Poirot and the Greenshore Folly (1954)
A long-lost Poirot novella, brisk but slight, and a beautiful glimpse of Christie’s writing process before it became Dead Man’s Folly.

Something a little different on Whodunnit Whisperings, a trip to the theatre to see the stage adaptation of Caroline Graham’s Midsomer Murders featuring Daniel Casey as Barnaby.

Stage Review: Midsomer Murders - The Killings at Badger's Drift (2025/26 Tour)
Same idyllic villages, same suspiciously high body count, only now Daniel Casey’s back and finally calling the shots as Barnaby.

If you are a fan of the Golden Age of Detection and a fan of going to the theatre, @jamiewestauthor.co.uk's first two books in the Bertie Carroll Mysteries are definitely for you. This is an author who has great things ahead of him if he keeps up writing like this. open.substack.com/pub/whodunni...

Death on the Pier (2022) and Murder at the Matinee (2024)
The first two Bertie Carroll mysteries revive the Golden Age with style and irresistible theatrical flair.

New review from Whodunnit Whisperings, Susie Dent’s debut novel Guilty by Definition. A promising debut but is a bit of a slow burn that pays off in the end. open.substack.com/pub/whodunni...

Guilty by Definition (2024)
Murder among lexicographers, Susie Dent's debut novel - slow to start, but words worth killing for in the end.

Sharing the Whodunnit Whisperings review of Death at Broadcasting House from 1934 by Val Gielgud and Holt Marvell. A wonderful depiction of Broadcasting House where the setting is a character itself. open.substack.com/pub/whodunni...
