The Body in the Library (Marple, Book 2)

A young woman found murdered A scandal in the making When Mrs Bantry wakes to find a body in her library, there’s only one woman to call: her good friend Jane Marple. But she hasn’t called her old friend for comfort. The body in her library has been murdered and Miss Marple is so very good at solving murders. Her investigations uncover a scandal far darker than either of them could have imagined, and this time she may be out of her depth. Never underestimate Miss Marple ‘Christie always defied expectations, not only in her legendary twists and reveals, but also in the underestimated detectives she created as her heroes. The villains never see these sleuths coming – and that’s half the fun.’ Leigh Bardugo ‘One of the most ingeniously contrived of all her murder stories.’ Birmingham Post Agatha Christie, the classic Sunday Times bestselling author, weaves a tale of mystery and crime in The Body in the Library. The traditional elements of fiction are masterfully used to create a thrilling narrative that keeps the reader on the edge of their seat. For fans of Richard Osman (We Solve Murders), Anthony Horowitz (The Twist of a Knife), M. C. Beaton (Death of a Prankster), Alexandra Benedict (Death Comes at Christmas), and Daphne Du Maurier (The Birds And Other Stories).
