A brand new collection of short stories featuring the Queen of Crime' s legendary detective Jane Marple, penned by twelve remarkable bestselling and acclaimed authors. This collection of twelve 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 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.
' Without a doubt, the greatest mystery writer of all time' - Ragnar Jonasson' A hundred years after her first novel, and we are all still standing in her shadow' - Andrew Taylor' Agatha Christie is the gateway drug to crime fiction both for readers and for writers' - Val McDermid' She gives us an insight into human nature that few, if any, have surpassed' - Susan Lewis' Dame Agatha has sold more books than all besides Shakespeare and the Bible' - David Baldacci' All crime fiction writers around the globe owe Agatha Christie a massive debt' - Peter James' Reading a perfectly plotted Agatha Christie is like crunching into a perfect apple: that pure, crisp, absolute satisfaction. ' - Tana French
Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. Her first novel, The Mysterious Affair at Styles, written towards the end of the First World War, introduced us to Hercule Poirot, who was to become the most popular detective in crime fiction since Sherlock Holmes. She is known throughout the world as the Queen of Crime. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language and another billion in over 100 foreign countries. She is the author of 80 crime novels and short story collections, 19 plays, and six novels under the name of Mary Westmacott.
