They do it with mirrors
They do it with mirrors by Agatha Christie is my latest project. It is another illustration commission for The Agatha Christie Book Collection magazine, which is apparently doing extremely well indeed!
They do it with mirrors: Again I have the task of creating all the suspects and red herrings from this novel. It is set in the early 1950s and so I will be doing my usual research for the right costumes and hairstyles, that will need to not only be in keeping with the period, but also something the characters would wear! It features my Dad’s favourite sleuth Miss Marple.
As the story opens, Jane Marple is paying a visit to her old friend Ruth Van Rydock. Miss Marple, Ruth, and Ruth’s sister Carrie Louise were all friends together at the same school in Italy when they were girls. Ruth is worried that something is very wrong at Stonygates, the Victorian mansion where Carrie Louise lives with her husband Lewis Serrocold. She can’t explain any real reason for these worries, but she fears that Carrie Louise may be in danger of some kind. Ruth asks Miss Marple to visit her and find out what is going on.
As usual it is full of an interesting mix of suspects and yes there is a murder at Stonygates, which Miss Marple will solve! Obviously I cannot share any artwork with you today for this particular brief but can share with others that I have done in the past that you have yet to see!
