I’m very excited to say that I’ll be returning to the Golden Eagle Danube Express in May 2027 – and this time it’s a Christie Time affair, as I’ll be joined by the brilliant Gray Robert Brown (my marvellous Swinging Christies co-host)!

On board the journey from Istanbul to Paris (16-23 May 2027), Gray and I will be giving talks about Agatha Christie, with special emphasis on her love of trains and the influence of this famous route on one (or more!) of her most beloved mysteries.

It’s an incredible journey, including stops to explore sights and attractions in Bulgaria, Slovenia, Serbia and Austria. I couldn’t tell you what my favourite part was but the Postojna Cave is a contender, perhaps second only to the train itself!

We’d love for you to join us – I loved every moment of the journey this year, and now can’t wait to do it again. And maybe Gray and I will even have time for our own little project while on board… we’ll see!

Pop along to the Golden Eagle Luxury Trains website to learn more about this once-in-a-lifetime experience. See you there..?

I can’t wait to return to the International Agatha Christie Festival in September 2026. This year, my talk looks at some of the lesser-known film and TV adaptations of Christie’s work from the last century (almost!). It’s at 4pm on Wednesday 16 September, and you can book tickets here.

Gray and I will also be recording a new episode of The Swinging Christies with a live audience – The Pale Caribbean Mirror Crack’d, all about adaptations of these Swinging titles from the 1980s and 1990s. Last year’s live event was a hoot, and I’m sure this’ll be just as fun! Tickets available here, the event takes place on Friday 18 September.

Gray also has his own talk this year, a fascinating discussion of the mysterious case of Roger Styles… Tickets available here.

Gray and I are really pleased to be returning to the International Agatha Christie Festival’s Spring Gathering event in Torquay on 11 April 2026, presenting a new live episode of The Swinging Christies. Tickets are limited and bound to sell out again so grab one now!
