Join us on the 21st November for an in-person and online Salon at The British Library, as we celebrate Marple: Twelve New Stories, a brand-new collection of original tales penned by some of the world’s most acclaimed and bestselling female writers. Each story takes inspiration from Agatha Christie’s classic originals to feature a new mystery for Miss Marple to solve. As ever, she knows more than she appears to.
Damian Barr will be joined by contributing authors Lucy Foley and Kate Mosse, as well as Agatha Christie’s great grandson and CEO and Chairman of Agatha Christie Ltd, James Prichard. The evening will feature exclusive readings, expert insights, and special appearances from Marple super-fans, celebrating the incomparable, enigmatic spirt of Jane Marple and her legendary creator Agatha Christie.
Tickets start at £10 for the in-person event (concessions are available) and £5 online. A ticket and book bundle will also be available and books will be on sale on the night. The box office and bar open at 6.30pm and the Salon will start at 7pm. Lucy Foley and Kate Mosse will also be signing books after the event.
