Ruth Ware, New York Times-bestselling author, who collaborated with HarperCollins and contributed to the short story collection entitled Marple: Twelve New Stories in 2o23, has recently taken her Marple stories to the air. Ruth’s work aired on BBC Radio 4 as part of the Marple: Three New Stories initiative. The programme has consisted of other reimaginings of Agatha Christie’s classic detective from fellow crime authors Natalie Haynes and Elly Griffiths.

Ruth’s story is titled Miss Marple’s Christmas, and you can listen to the first episode here. Miss Marple’s Christmas will be aired each Monday at 14:45 until Monday 20th January—the next episode airs today: make sure you don’t miss it!

Ruth’s forthcoming title, The Woman in Suite 11, will be released in summer 2025. You can pre-order your US copy here and your UK copy here or, better, via your  local bookshop and Bookshop.org.
