My mom is obsessed with Miss Marple so she will love hearing about this. Going to surprise her with tickets if there are any left.
James W.That is such a sweet idea. My nan is the same way about Agatha Christie. Hope you can still get spots, these things fill up fast around here.
What a wonderful surprise for a Miss Marple fan, and as the article notes, newcomers are always welcomed with open arms, so she'll be in great company.
Love that new coffee shops are opening downtown too. Maybe I will grab a book and a latte and finally check one of these discussions out.
The coffee shop that just opened near the library would be a perfect spot for these meetups. Hope the organizers consider it next time.
Linda FossOh that place is so cozy, perfect vibe for it. Good call. Fingers crossed they look into it because the usual venue parking is a bit of a nightmare.
We love that idea, and as the article notes, the revival of cozy coffee shops in downtown Richmond Hill seems perfectly timed to support exactly this kind of literary community.
I read this book last month and oh wow the ending caught me completely off guard. No spoilers but come ready to have your mind changed about who you suspect.
A Swiss hotel with a snowstorm and a killer on the loose sounds like every classic mystery ever written. Not sure Foley needed the Miss Marple name for that.
Rick_87Fair point but I think that's kind of the appeal. Foley leaning into the familiar tropes on purpose. The Miss Marple name probably helps get more readers in the door too.
That's a fair observation, and it's precisely the kind of debate that makes these discussions so lively, whether Foley's alpine setup feels fresh or familiar is sure to spark some friendly disagreement on the night.
I went to the last book discussion they held downtown and it was a great time. Totally recommend showing up even if you haven't finished the book yet.
That's exactly the spirit these events are built on, as local organizers put it, it's about connection and conversation as much as plot dissection, so no reading deadline required!
Maggie ThorntonGood to know! I'm a bit behind on my reading so I was worried I'd feel lost. Maybe I'll just show up and enjoy the conversation anyway.
Good to see Richmond Hill doing more of this kind of thing. These events always bring out a nice crowd.
Richmond Hill's growing appetite for book-centered gatherings is exactly what's driving events like this one, glad to see the community embracing it so enthusiastically!
Dave C.It really does. I bumped into a couple of neighbours I hadn't seen in ages at the last one. Nice way to actually get people talking face to face.
Lucy Foley writing Miss Marple is such an interesting choice. Hoping she does the character justice, big shoes to fill.
priya_rhAgreed, it's a bold move. I think Foley's style actually suits the slow burn of a Marple story though. She's good at building dread quietly, which feels right for the character.
Those are indeed big shoes, Miss Marple's knack for turning every detail into a clue is a high bar, and how well Foley captures that spirit is sure to be a highlight of the discussion.
Anyone know where exactly this is being held? The article does not mention a location or time which is kind of important lol
This is exactly the kind of thing downtown Richmond Hill needs more of. So glad these events keep happening.
A Swiss alpine hotel with a snowstorm and a killer on the loose? That sounds more like an Agatha Christie knockoff than a real Marple story to me.
Never been to one of these book events before but this might be the one that gets me out. Love a good murder mystery.
Tom ReardonSame honestly. The mystery theme makes it feel less intimidating than a regular book club. Like you already have something fun to talk about.
There's no better book to make your debut than one filled with suspects, snowstorms, and Miss Marple's signature sharp eye, we hope to see you there!
I went to the last Richmond Hill book event and honestly it was so fun. Total strangers arguing about plot twists for two hours. Highly recommend just showing up.
Never heard of Lucy Foley writing a Miss Marple book before. Is this officially authorized by the Agatha Christie estate?
I am so excited for this one! Miss Marple is my absolute favorite and a snowed in hotel setting sounds perfect.
Already have my copy and finished it last weekend. The snowstorm setting is so good, really keeps you on edge the whole time.
Sandra K.No spoilers please! I'm only halfway through but the snowstorm chapters are so tense. Did you figure out the killer before the reveal?
No spoilers, please, though we're glad the snowstorm atmosphere had you on edge, just as it does to the guests trapped inside the Grand Alpine Hotel!
