6/28/2023 0 Comments The body in the library bookMiss Marple is known by the local police as having a bit of a penchant for solving crimes, so they are more than happy to hear her thoughts and take her advice. Mrs Bantry is a friend of Miss Marple’s, so calls her over at once to cast her eye over things. Plot-wise she takes us straight into the action when Colonel and Mrs Bantry of Gossington Hall find the body of a young lady sprawled across the hearth rug in their library. The Body in the Library is the May read along choice and this book had everything I love about Agatha’s style. I picked up this classic murder mystery as part of Read Christie 2020. She plays the ‘Who, me? But-I’m-just-an-innocent-old-lady’ card to a tee. This is only my third Miss Marple read (after Sleeping Murder and The Mirror Crack’d from Side-to-Side) and I’m enjoying discovering more of her no-nonsense character. Happy days! After a run of not-brilliant Agatha Christie reads, I find her back on form with The Body in the Library, a Miss Marple mystery. Opening sentence: “Mrs Bantry was dreaming.”
