Hazel Jones

Hey there! I'm Hazel Jones, a 37-year-old from the North-West of England. 

My love for Agatha Christie blossomed thanks to my Granny's influence, introducing me to her captivating world through books, TV, and film.

Christie's keen observation of human nature and her relatable characters resonate deeply with me. 'And Then There Were None' holds a special place in my heart for its timeless brilliance.

Hosting this podcast has been an incredible journey of discovery, connecting with fascinating individuals and exploring their passions. 

Thank you for tuning in!
