Feature: Marple by Agatha Christie

 

"I wonder, sometimes, if there isn't a concentration of evil in small places."

Do you have a favorite literary character you would like to see have new adventures?

Thank you, Partner @bibliolifestyle @williammorrowbooks for the gifted copy of Marple: Twelve New Mysteries and for allowing me to be on this tour.

I've started reading this collection and I was pulled in by the very first line. I loved the first story, Evil in Small Places by Lucy Foley. There are great stories by so many of my favorite authors!

Book Description from Goodreads: A brand-new collection of short stories featuring the Queen of Mystery’s legendary detective Jane Marple, penned by twelve remarkable bestselling and acclaimed authors.

Miss Marple was first introduced to readers in a story Agatha Christie wrote for The Royal Magazine in 1927 and made her first appearance in a full-length novel in 1930’s The Murder at the Vicarage. It has been 45 years since Agatha Christie’s last Marple novel, Sleeping Murder, was published posthumously in 1976, and this collection of ingenious new stories by twelve Christie devotees will be a timely reminder why Jane Marple remains the most famous fictional female detective of all time.
