Book Review

The Body in the Library
by Agatha Christie

This is the second Miss Marple mystery and it is dreadfully clever. Two young women are murdered: one is found strangled in the Bantry's library and the other burnt up in a car fire. Mrs. Bantry calls her friend Jane Marple to come and help find the murderer in hopes of averting a scandal. Of course, Miss Marple unravels the web of deceit, greed, and manipulation around the murders to reveal the killer. There were a few really interesting twists to the story, and I didn't quite see the ending coming. I liked the different possibilities for motivations that many of the characters had, and the complicated relationships among them all.
