Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel by Lucy Foley
Half a century on from Agatha Christie’s final Miss Marple novel, Foley revives the character in this delightfully tricksy mystery. Set in 1950, it sees the amateur sleuth on a rare holiday at a Swiss ski hotel whose well-heeled guests include a politician, a fading film star – and a murderer.
