Bernthal, author of Queering Agatha Christie

‘With Agatha Christie studies on the rise, it is high time attention turned to Miss Marple. Desirée Prideaux’s fresh look at the archetypal spinster sleuth sheds much-needed light on one of the twentieth century’s most popular and misunderstood fictional characters.’ J.C. Bernthal, author of Queering Agatha Christie ‘Desirée Prideaux’s Sleuthing Miss Marple is a phenomenally rich and original addition to Agatha Christie studies… Prideaux breaks new ground and sheds new light on a familiar and much-loved character who, as Prideaux demonstrates, contains depths never before explored to such an extent. The end result is an enlightening and enjoyable lesson in never underestimating a woman—or the writer who created her.’ Rachel Schaffer, Clues ‘Showcase[s] some interesting and thought-provoking ideas, which encourage you to return to the original stories for a re-read with a different way of looking at them.’ Kate Jackson, Crossing Examining Crime
