Can't Wait Wednesday - Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel

 


Can't-Wait Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted here to spotlight the books we're excited about that we have yet to read. Generally, they're books that have yet to be released.  It's hosted by Tessa over at Wishful Endings and you can find out more here.



Blurb
:  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…

Why I Can't Wait For This One:  I've had decent luck with Lucy Foley's books and the mystery on this one looks good.  I'm a little nervous about the Miss Marple character but this was authorized by the Christie estate and while I don't love all the Hannah books with Poirot they were at least respectful of the character.  As well, there was a short story collection a few years ago of Miss Marple stories and Foley's was my favorite.
