I love Agatha Christie, when I was in middle school this was the first book of hers given to me by my mother. My mom isn't a huge reader like myself, by she introduced me to this wonderful mystery writer. Body in the Library encompassed everything I ever wanted from a mystery, the twists and clues and may people that could have done it. Agatha Christie is classic and all of her mysteries keep me intrigued. ( )

This is my first Agatha Christie book. I have been informed by many people that I would love Agatha Christie's books. I admit that is true. I started The Body in the Library this morning. Every free moment I had I was reading the book.

How would you react to finding a body in your library? I don't know if I would be as calm as the woman in this book. Mrs. Bantry was thrilled with finding a body in her library. This was her chance to be a sleuth. That is what she was eager for.

The Body in the Library is a Miss Marple Mystery. Miss Marple is the sleuth in the village of St. Mary Mead. Mrs. Bantry calls Miss Marple up to the house when the body is found.

I enjoyed the book except for the parts that were written in French. Since I have never taken French some of the jokes were lost on me. Ms. Christie's writing style is one that is new to me. The book was a nice easy week end read.

5 stars since I didn't know until the very end who the murderer was.. ( )

A pretty good whodunit, perhaps a bit dated. ( )

I love this book. Miss Marple has a great way of solving mysteries that are hard to solve. A fun read that isn't to heavy a read. ( )
