An instant New York Times bestseller!

"Lucy Foley channels the one-and-only Agatha Christie with precision and flair. I couldn't put it down!" - Bonnie Garmus, #1 New York Times bestselling author

The brand-new Miss Marple mystery from Lucy Foley, the #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Guest List and The Midnight Feast.

High in the Swiss Alps, accessible only by a single, winding railway, stands the luxurious Grand Alpine Hotel. With glorious mountain views and exclusive access to powdery slopes, it draws guests from far and wide.

The notorious actress.
The high-flying politician.
The society wife.
The reckless friend.
The shrewd doctor.

But not everyone is here for a winter holiday.

Beneath the champagne and furs, dark histories simmer; old grudges emerge like cracks in the ice.

And someone is watching from the shadows. A polite, unassuming woman with an extraordinary mind: Miss Marple.

When a body is found and a blizzard cuts off all escape, only Miss Marple can connect the clues before the killer strikes again. Because it isn't a question of who has a motive, but who's next...

    Mord in den Alpen

    Für mich stellt sich bei Büchern in denen bekannte Charaktere neu aufgelegt werden immer die Frage, ob das gut gehen kann. Ich finde das es der Autorin durchaus gelungen ist, den Charme von Miss Marpel einzufangen. Miss Marpel spielt hier allerdings nur eine Nebenrolle im Fokus stehen drei sehr unterschiedlichen Frauen. Ein Filmstar, eine Gesellschafterin und eine junge Ehefrau. Und ein rätselhaften Mann. Ich musste mich zunächst einmal daran gewöhnen das der Roman aus Sicht der vier Personen geschrieben ist und zwar immer aus der ich Perspektive. Die Atmosphäre des Hotels und die fünfziger Jahre waren sehr gut eingefangen und die Stimmung im Alpenhotel hat mich an die Miss Marpel Krimis erinnert, der Fall baut sich langsam auf und wird dann aber durchaus spannend ohne dabei seinen Charme zu verlieren. Mir hat das Buch gut gefallen.

    Miss Marple a la Lucy Foley

    Welcome to the Grand Alpine Hotel, a remote, unbelievably luxurious hotel in the swiss alps. Accessible only by train, close to a glacier and to the border to Italy. So a really dramaric setting for Lucy Foley's first Miss Marple Mystery. In best Lucy Foley style the story begins with a murder. How this crime was committed and also what lead to it, is told in retrospect through the eyes of four different people: Diana Glass, Sylvia Sinclair, Bruno Crane and Catherine Narracott. A story with twist and turns, a couple of red herrings and quite a few murders. But can Lucy Foley pull it off? Yes and no. It is a solid and gripping story, fun reading and a brilliant setting, but for me some questions are still unanswered. I don't want to spoil but if you imlpy as an author that a certain detail (in this case a photo) leads to the untimly demise of a character, you should at least explain what was seen on the photo. Also I had the feeling that Miss Marple was more of a side character for most of the time and only there to explain to the reader what had happened. Yes, that is totally Agatha Christie style but at least in her books the murderer was in the same room when the big reveal happened, unlike here. Not to say that some scenes were just over the top and for entertainment only. But all in all I enjoyed reading it. It's big shoes to fill and I hope we will read more Miss Marple a la Lucy Foley.

    Nice try - a good mystery, but something was missing for me

    Lucy Foley hat bereits einige bekannte und durchaus gute Thriller geschrieben, doch kann sie DIE Queen of Crime „imitieren“? Meine Meinung: nein. „The Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel“ ist eine Art Hommage an Agatha Christie, denn Lucy Foley schreibt die Krimifälle der Miss Marple in diesem Buch fort. Ein Mordfall in den Schweizer Alpen, eine Gondel, die zum Tatort wurde und eine ganze Gruppe von Menschen, die als Verdächtige herangezogen werden können. Und Foley hat durchaus gute Ansätze, kann auch hier und da, denke ich, ganz gut einen kleinen Hauch von Miss Marple tatsächlich aufleben lassen, doch irgendwie fehlte mir das gewisse Etwas, das Christie in ihren Krimis immer bereithielt. Zugegeben, man tappt hier manchmal im Dunkeln, denkt dann, die richtige Spur zu haben, nur um erneut verwirrt zu werden. Das klappt auch zunächst ganz gut, doch für mich drehte sich die ganze Handlung plötzlich unendlich weiter und verlor seinen Reiz, weil alles gefühlt zu Tode erzählt wird. Miss Marple spielt dabei leider auch eine sehr kleine Rolle. Mir gefiel zwar zunächst der zurückhaltende Part, den sie einnimmt. Nach und nach jedoch fehlte sie als Teil der so betitelten Reihe. Ich finde der Fall ist durchaus spannend und hat einige schöne Wendungen. Dennoch hatte ich glaube ich etwas zu hohe Erwartungen für eine neue „Christie“. Zugeben muss ich aber auch, dass mich die Geschichte im Großen und Ganzen für einige Stunden ganz gut unterhalten hat.
