Publisher Description

The iconic Miss Marple must investigate the case of a girl found dead in Agatha Christie’s classic mystery, The Body in the Library.

It’s seven in the morning. The Bantrys wake to find the body of a young woman in their library. She is wearing an evening dress and heavy makeup, which is now smeared across her cheeks. But who is she? How did she get there? And what is the connection with another dead girl, whose charred remains are later discovered in an abandoned quarry?

The respectable Bantrys invite Miss Marple into their home to investigate. Amid rumors of scandal, she baits a clever trap to catch a ruthless killer.

" Read this a couple of years ago during a Gatlinburg, TN vacation. It was joy to read. "
— Jenny, 6/13/2011
Overall Performance:
" A quick, easy, entertaining, clean read. My first Agatha Christie and I really enjoyed it. "
— Anna, 6/13/2011
Overall Performance:
" "Mrs . Bantry was dreaming." A good old detective novel in which you, as the reader, will never be able to solve unless you were actually there. While the sleuthing abilities of Miss Marple provide a sense of wonder to the mystery, the book comes off a bit bland. "
— Mel, 6/7/2011
Overall Performance:
" Another one of her books that keeps you guessing right till the end and even then I didn't get it right! "
— William, 6/2/2011
Overall Performance:
" Another week stuck in a long commute, so Agatha came along and kept me company ala an audiobook session. An enjoyable read, a little slow in the beginning, but I love the way Agatha expands so nicely, always keeping me on my toes. "
— Tiffany, 5/22/2011
Overall Performance:
" What a fun, light murder mystery. My first in reading an Agatha Christie. "
