About this Event
Join us for an exciting evening with Lucy Foley, in conversation with Ruth Ware as we celebrate the first official continuation novel starring Miss Marple, M**der At The Grand Alpine Hotel.
Arriving 50 years after Agatha Christie’s last MISS MARPLE novel was published, Lucy Foley's M**der at the Grand Alpine Hotel is a landmark event.
Agatha Christie's iconic spinster sleuth returns in an assured and compelling reimagining from the bestselling author of The Hunting Party and The Midnight Feast, as Miss Marple investigates the suspicious demise of a guest at a luxury Alpine hotel cut off by a snowstorm.
High in the Swiss Alps, with glorious mountain views and exclusive access to powdery slopes, the Grand Alpine Hotel draws guests from far and wide.
The notorious actress
The high-flying politician
The reserved political wife
The reckless friend
The shrewd doctor
But when a guest enters a gondola alive, only to be found dead at the top of the mountain, it’s clear there’s a killer in their midst.
As dark histories simmer, and old grudges emerge like cracks in the ice, someone watches on from the shadows. An unassuming woman with an extraordinary mind: Miss Marple.
She suspects everyone in the hotel, and she’s right to. For it isn’t just a question of who has a motive, but who’s next…
