High Altitudes and High Stakes with Author Lucy Foley

TOMS RIVER – Join Lucy Foley, author of the brand-new Miss Marple mystery, Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel, at 2 p.m. Thursday, August 27 for a virtual discussion presented by the Ocean County Library.

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 summer, old grudges emerge like cracks in the ice, and someone is watching in 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. It isn’t a question of who has a motive, but who’s next…
