Lucy Foley to revive Miss Marple in new Swiss Alps mystery
Author Lucy Foley is reviving the iconic detective Miss Marple in her new novel, ‘Murder in the Grand Alpine Hotel’. Published by Penguin Verlag, the book is set to release on September 30.
This marks the first time the Agatha Christie Estate has authorized another author to write a standalone Miss Marple novel, following a 50-year hiatus since the publication of ‘Sleeping Murder’. The story moves the character from the English coast to the Swiss Alps, where Marple, accompanied by Dolly Bantry and Diana Glass, stays at a luxury hotel.
The plot involves a diverse group of guests, including a politician, a Hollywood actress, and a Yugoslavian prince, whose holiday is interrupted when a body is discovered. Foley noted that the project came as an invitation 18 months after her participation in a Marple anthology.
