“Each author captures Christie—and Marple—perfectly, while also displaying just a bit of her own unique touch.” Washington Post
Marple is a solid anthology that pays tribute to Christie whose work endures.” South Florida Sun Sentinel
“Marple is the best loved [detective]. Also the most influential…It is Miss Marple who introduced the revolutionary notion that people are essentially the same wherever one goes.” Los Angeles Times
“The stories…are equally attuned to our heroine’s wry sagacity and to her ability to detect evil intent wherever it lurks.” Booklist (starred review)
