Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel

Fifty years after Agatha Christie’s last Miss Marple novel was published, the author of The Midnight Feast channels her spirit – and her plotting wiles – in this evocative whodunnit set at a snowbound Alpine hotel in 1950. The assembled guests include a rising Tory politician, his dutiful wife, his desperate wartime acquaintance, a Hollywood starlet on the wane, a shrewd doctor – and a certain Miss Jane Marple, holidaying with her friend Mrs Bantry. When one of the guests is found dead on the mountain, she joins forces with a dashing French policeman to stop the killer before they can strike again.
