The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie

[Monica Lynn]

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..

Thanks for writing that review. I thought that maybe the Agatha Christie books would be too predictable because in these modern times there are so many crime shows and it's easy to pick out the killer. If I ever find an Agatha Christie book, I will certainly give it a go. Or I will just watch the BBC Miss Marple series.

I know, I have watched some of the Miss Marple Series and enjoy them. It was nice to read a book based on the series and to actually enjoy it.

Remember to write reviews good or bad for books you have read.
