This collection of 12 original short stories, all featuring Jane Marple, will introduce the character to a whole new generation. Each author reimagines Agatha Christie’s Marple through their own unique perspective while staying true to the hallmarks of a traditional mystery. – Naomi Alderman – Leigh Bardugo – Alyssa Cole – Lucy Foley – Elly Griffiths – Natalie Haynes – Jean Kwok – Val McDermid – Karen M. McManus – Dreda Say Mitchell – Kate Mosse – Ruth Ware. Miss Marple was first introduced to readers in a story Christie wrote for The Royal Magazine in 1927 and made her first appearance in a full-length novel in the 1930s in 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 12 Christie devotees will be a timely reminder of why Jane Marple remains the most famous fictional female detective of all time.
