‘One doesn’t stop at one murder…’ – Miss Marple

Today’s top female crime writers come together to give Agatha Christie’s legendary sleuth, Jane Marple, twelve new mysteries to solve!

Booklist raves in a starred review: “Twelve contemporary authors, all acclaimed crime writers, bring Agatha Christie's beloved Miss Jane Marple to print for the first time in 45 years, beautifully reinvigorating one of mystery fiction's most enduring sleuths.”

Library Journal adds, “Readers will be eager to try this anthology as a dozen celebrated crime fiction authors try their hand at writing traditional short stories featuring Christie’s amateur sleuth. As in any collection, some stories stand out, but they all capture the character of the shrewd, always underestimated Miss Marple.”

In MARPLE: Twelve New Mysteries, Agatha Christie’s iconic detective goes on a crime-solving spree that will transport her from her quiet village of St Mary Mead to the bustling streets of New York, the sun-soaked Italian Riviera, and beyond. She may be an unassuming elderly lady, but nobody knows better than Jane Marple the wickedness that lurks around every corner.
