There’s a saying in Scandinavian culture, where winter days are sunless and icy– “There’s no such thing as bad weather, only bad clothes.” In an effort to clothe ourselves against a season of what is sure to feel like “bad weather,” the Voice presents “No bad weather: Finding joy in a COVID winter.” With topics ranging from reading the tarot and digging up local history to baking bread and cold-weather sports, we hope you’ll find something to warm you up while you keep yourself and your loved ones safe this winter.

This week marks 100 years since the first Agatha Christie detective novel was published in the U.S. If you’ve never picked up a Christie novel, don’t be fooled by the cozy British manners and rose gardens. Dame Agatha will keep you guessing ‘til the end. Grab one (or any mystery story!) and hunker down with a warm cup of tea for some thrills and chills this week to celebrate 100 years of Agatha Christie.

“Everyone is a potential murderer. In everyone there arises, from time to time, the wish to kill, though not the will to kill.” – Agatha Christie

“Mysteries satisfy because the danger is contained, and does not impact our lives.”  – Sheila Dalton, Dundurn Press
