Clued in Mystery Podcast

Brook and Sarah are joined by Mikhl Yashinsky, who translated 15 short stories written by Jonas Kreppel in the early twentieth century. Featuring Max Spitzkopf--billed as "The Yiddish Sherlock Holmes"--the stories were incredibly popular with the Jewish community in Vienna, and thanks to Yashinsky, are now available for English readers to enjoy.
