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.
