The New Miss Marple
Join Kate for an online discussion of the new Mystery! series

Julia McKenzie debuts as Agatha Christie's beloved spinster sleuth on Masterpiece Mystery!, Sunday, July 5.
 
Mystery Scene Magazine's Kate Stine will spend the week of July 5 with Masterpiece Mystery! and BN.com in an online discussion about the new Miss Marple series and everything else Christie. Post your questions and participate in the discussion!

Of course, Julia McKenzie is only the latest in a long line of Miss Marples stretching back to Barbara Mullen in the 1949 stage play The Murder at the Vicarage. Read Art Taylor's "Meet Miss Marple" at our website.

Learn the basics of book collecting in our new series!

Anyone can be a book collector; the key is to develop an interesting focus to your collection, then follow it through.

"I love crime fiction because it is a wonderful way of telling stories. It is epic, it is domestic. Crime fiction tells everything about society."

Mystery Scene Wins Poirot Award

In May, publishers Brian Skupin and Kate Stine received the Poirot Award for outstanding contributions to the mystery genre at the Malice Domestic Convention. Kate says, "It was a great honor from one of our favorite conventions. And our teapots look very nice on the fireplace mantel!"
