Join acclaimed author Lucy Foley for a dive into her brand-new mystery, “Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel.” As a life-long Agatha Christie fan, Lucy was inspired to transport Miss Marple to the glamorous post-war setting of the Swiss Alps, in a mystery that feels gloriously escapist yet utterly relevant to our times. Registration required.
