The hottest name in Hollywood right now is Agatha Christie. It might seem strange considering the famous murder-mystery novelist passed away almost 50 years ago, but in the last few years, we’ve seen a deluge of adaptations and Christie-inspired whodunits. You wouldn’t be wrong to claim that the bestselling novelist’s name is more relevant than ever, but according to Agatha Christie’s great-grandson James Prichard, it never went out of fashion.

“At the end of the day, people like great stories,” Prichard tells Inverse. “And these are great stories.”

Inverse spoke with Prichard about the whodunit renaissance, the shift in genre for A Haunting in Venice, and whether he’s building an interconnected Agatha Christie cinematic universe.
