Arts & Letters Live Presents: Lucy Foley
Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel from Lucy Foley is the first full-length Miss Marple mystery to be approved by Agatha Christie Limited since Christie’s own Sleeping Murder (1976), making it both a major literary milestone and a cross-generational cultural event.
High in the Swiss Alps, accessible only by a single winding railway, stands the luxurious Grand Alpine Hotel. With glorious mountain views and exclusive access to powdery slopes, it draws guests from far and wide—the notorious actress, the high-flying politician, the society wife, the reckless friend. But beneath the champagne and furs, dark histories simmer; old grudges emerge like cracks in the ice. Miss Marple, a polite, unassuming woman with an extraordinary mind, is watching from the shadows. When a body is found and a blizzard cuts off all escape, only Miss Marple can connect the clues before the killer strikes again.
Lucy Foley worked for several years as a fiction editor. Her previous novels include The Paris Apartment, The Guest List, and The Hunting Party.
"A modern tribute to Christie’s classic Marple novels that is perfect for avid mystery lovers."
