** spoiler alert ** It had been a while since I read an Agatha Christie novel. I combed through the list of her work and thought to myself... I'm not actually sure if I ever read this one. And it turned out, I hadn't! Now I want to watch a TV version to see how they interpret it.Great story. So much has been re-done from this early on work. It's a must read for Christie fans and truly any mystery buff! When you are rich, and you have people who take care of things... and it's nearly 100 years ago... what does one do when a body shows up in the library -- and you're not sure who it is? How confusing. But even more so when there's another girl who is missing... and they look alike. Which is which? And you know someone's lying. But you can't quite tell. Marple can tho!I think this is one of the better Marple mysteries... it's less about Marple and more about the story. And how the body got there. Nothing is as it seems, but that's where Christie shows her strength. The writing leads you to one conclusion based on how the facts are shown. But it's not trickery. The info is there, you just have to weed thru it. The only issue here: I'm just sorry I waited so long to read this one. About Me For those new to me or my reviews... here's the scoop: I read A LOT. I write A LOT. And now I blog A LOT. First the book review goes on Goodreads, and then I send it on over to my WordPress blog at https://thisismytruthnow.com, where you'll also find TV & Film reviews, the revealing and introspective 365 Daily Challenge and lots of blogging about places I've visited all over the world.

4,5 ⭐️reli o livro e fui feita de palhaça novamente. bacana.

I confess to absolutely loving Dame Agatha Christie's books. I find the coziness of them very soothing. Miss Marple's character becomes more rounded as we see her interact with her friends. Even though there were less action in this book, but I don't think that dooms it to being a bad book, it's just a change of pace, which is often refreshing.In the author's foreword Christie writes: "I laid down for myself certain conditions. The library in question must be a highly orthodox and conventional library. The body, on the other hand, must be a wildly improbably and highly sensational body."Christie kept to her conditions, and the results were excellent. Her writing is timeless. She keeps you guessing right up to the very end. The characters are well developed and detailed. The Bantrys are warm and funny, but still have their own depth. Conway Jefferson who seemed to be permanently in mourning, is one of the most interesting characters. It was humorous when the author portrays the village's people and their gossip. Very tongue-in-cheek :PThe best thing about Agatha Christie is that she writes with typical British wit and humour, and also wry observations appearing here and there. The skill of observation and drawing similarities between unrelated events of Miss Marple are unparalleled. One of the most intricate of plots. The Body In The Library is certainly a splendid read for cozy mystery fans!

I figured it out! I knew whodunnit!I was smugly chuckling and congratulating myself on finally beating Agatha Christie at her own game as I listened to the end of the book drawing near, knowing that I had beaten the Queen of Mystery. Goddammit.She fooled me again. I was all like, wait...whatthefuckjusthappened?! - as I listened to the actual murderer get hauled off to the pokey.sighsAnyway.The gist is that Miss Marple's friend, Dolly, finds a body in her library.

Ich bin ein Fan von Miss Marple und lese diese Krimis immer wieder gerne. In diesem Buch kam mir fast zu wenig von Miss Marple vor; sie hätte gerne mehr präsent sein dürfen :) Ich mag ihren Scharfsinn. Die Geschichte ist trotz Mordfall eher ruhig, gemütlich. Ich habe diese Ruhe genossen; dafür hat die Auflösung mich dann noch mal so richtig überraschen können. Es ist so verwickelt, aber wenn Miss Marple ihre Schlüsse zieht, erscheint alles ganz logisch und einfach. Ich liebe es!

The body in the Library by Agatha Christie is one fantastic detective book that I have read in my youngest years. I still remember it so vividly. It shows the time between two wars in England. Miss Marple is a lovely old lady with tremendous observation skills where she finally connects clueless situations revealing the murderer.

Miss Marple is called to Gossington Hall after a maid discovers a dead body of a young flashily dressed woman has been strangled.This is only the second full length novel featuring Jane Marple, it’s a great little puzzle mystery with all the fun Christie tropes.One of the shortest novels in the cannon, it’s a really quick read.I really like Marple, I can’t wait to read more from this delightful character.

4 Stars. Deep down, Miss Marple is a cynic about human nature. She proves it after the body of a young blonde is found in the library at Colonel and Dotty Bantry's Gossington Hall. Jane is a friend of Dotty and gets chauffeured over to comfort her friend. The police on the scene are soon asking about her, "Where have we seen that woman sitting in the corner?" The victim, Ruby Keene, was 18 and in the process of being adopted by Conway Jefferson, an invalid with a terminal diagnosis, who doted on her as a substitute for his deceased children. Was Ruby in it for the money? With a new will in preparation, what would the heirs think? Miss Marple recalls a similar situation. Ruby's cousin tells us that she was a dancer at a nearby hotel and had been recently invited up from London as a substitute. Miss Marple recalls a similar situation. She soon fears a second murder and it isn't too long before we hear that a naïve young girl has also disappeared. The clues are there but you'll miss them like I did. I am trying to read new mystery and thriller authors but Agatha Christie keeps calling me back. Which I then heed. It's a dilemma. (April 2018)
