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.

Agatha Christie
The reigning queen of crime,Agatha Christie's life took her from her home in the Devon countryside to Cairo,Australia and,of course,a journey on the Orient Express. She created two of the most famous detectives in literature,the moustached Belgian super-sleuth Hercule Poirot and the deceptively genteel village investigator Miss Marple,as well as creating the longest running stage playThe Mousetrap.
