***
High in the Swiss Alps, with glorious mountain views and exclusive access to powdery slopes, the Grand Alpine Hotel draws guests from far and wide.
The notorious actress
The high-flying politician
The inscrutable political wife
The reckless friend
The shrewd doctor
But when a guest enters a gondola alive, only to be found dead at the top of the mountain, it's clear there's a killer in their midst.
As tensions rise, and old grudges emerge like cracks in the ice, someone watches from the shadows. An unassuming woman with an extraordinary mind: Miss Marple.
She suspects everyone in the hotel, and she's right to. For it isn't just a question of who has a motive, but who's next...
Arriving 50 years after Agatha Christie's last MISS MARPLE novel was published, Lucy Foley's Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel is a landmark event.
