It's a special bonus episode! A Daughter’s A Daughter - good novel, even better play? In a Westmapod first we’re discussing the original play version of A Daughter’s A Daughter, written by Agatha Christie, and how that became a Mary Westmacott novel. Join Mark and Gray as they investigate what changes were made, and what this play teaches us about who ‘Mary Westmacott’ truly is…

Read along with us! Each episode drops fortnightly, on Tuesdays. You have until Tuesday 23 June 2026 to read the play script of A Daughter’s A Daughter, and until Tuesday 7 July 2026 to read the final Mary Westmacott novel: The Burden!
