Lucy Foley at Durham Book Festival

Durham University alumna and bestselling author Lucy Foley returns to the city to celebrate Durham Book Festival’s Big Read, in an event chaired by Professor Naomi Booth from our Department of English Studies.

Lucy will discuss The Hunting Party, and her latest novel, Murder at the Grand Alpine Hotel, which sees her picking up Agatha Christie’s reins 50 years on in a brand-new Miss Marple mystery. Expect a new cast of delightfully complex characters, with the shrewd eye and sharp wit from Miss Marple we all know and love. 

Lucy Foley is the bestselling author of seven novels, including The Paris Apartment, The Midnight Feast, and The Guest List, which was a Reese’s Book Club pick. As a lifelong Agatha Christie fan, Lucy also contributed to the short story anthology, Marple. Lucy is a graduate of Durham University.
