Now with a beautiful new series look, the iconic Miss Marple must investigate the case of a girl found dead in The Body in the Library, Agatha Christie's classic mystery.

It's seven in the morning. The Bantrys wake to find the body of a young woman in their library. She is wearing an evening dress and heavy makeup, which is now smeared across her cheeks. But who is she? How did she get there? And what is the connection with another dead girl, whose charred remains are later discovered in an abandoned quarry?

The respectable Bantrys invite Miss Marple into their home to investigate. Amid rumours of scandal, she baits a clever trap to catch a ruthless killer.

The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie features Miss Marple in a classic murder mystery that has been praised for its clever plotting and Christie's characteristic red herrings. Reviewers appreciate the engaging storyline with its charming setting and intricate puzzle, though some note it may lack the same suspenseful impact as her other works. The novel is often enjoyed for its nostalgic trip into the English countryside and familiar detective tropes.
