1-Sentence Summary
The body of an unknown, strangled woman is found in the library of colonel Bantry and his wife who call Miss Marple and the local police for help.
Reflections
A typical Agatha Christie whodunit story with a wide range of characters / suspects. The Body in the Library is a nice and lightweight read. The resolution for The Body in the Library was unexpected, in a very positive way and Miss Marple is just charming, always doubting everyone and seeing the bad in people. I just wish there would have been more hints throughout the story so that readers would actually be able to keep up with Miss Marple, but that's probably just me.
