Agatha Christie Marple: 12 New Mysteries
One doesn't stop at one murder...
Jane Marple is an elderly lady from St Mary Mead who
possesses an uncanny knack for solving even the most perplexing puzzles. Now,
for the first time in 45 years, Agatha Christie’s beloved character returns to
the page for a globe-trotting tour of crime and detection.
Join Marple as she travels through her sleepy English
village and around the world. In St Mary Mead, a Christmas dinner is
interrupted by unexpected guests; the Broadway stage in New York City is set
for a dangerous improvisation; bad omens surround an untimely death aboard a
cruise ship to Hong Kong; and a bestselling writer on holiday in Italy is
caught in a nefarious plot. These and other crimes committed in the name of
love, jealousy, blackmail, and revenge are ones that only the indomitable Jane
Marple can solve.
Bringing a fresh twist to the hallmarks of a classic Agatha
Christie mystery, these twelve esteemed writers have captured the sharp wit,
unique voice, and droll ingenuity of the deceptively demure detective. A
triumphant celebration of Christie’s legacy and essential reading for crime
lovers, Marple is a timely reminder why Jane Marple remains one of the most
famous detectives of all time.
