A Caribbean Mystery with Jean Kwok
Manage episode 353119873 series 3439625
Author Jean Kwok discusses A Caribbean Mystery, the Miss Marple book she took inspiration from in her latest story, "The Jade Empress." This story is part of the new MARPLE book: 12 Miss Marple stories by 12 different authors.
She chats about what it was like to take on such an icon, how Agatha Christie was part of her journey in learning English, and why Miss Marple is really a modern character. Plus we discuss Agatha Christie's sense of humor and how she subverts the underdog trope with both Marple and Poirot.
