The Clued in Mystery podcast explores mystery and the different ways we enjoy the genre through books, TV, film, and podcasts. Your hosts, authors Brook Peterson and Sarah M Stephen, love reading, watching, listening to, and talking about mysteries. Join us as we celebrate good mysteries everywhere.
In today’s episode, Brook and Sarah discuss the difference between mysteries on screen resolved in a single episode and ones that take multiple episodes to resolve.
