Notes:The body of a beautiful blonde is found in the library of Gossington Hall. What the young woman was doing in the quiet village of St. Mary Mead is precisely what Jane Marple means to find out. Amid rumors of scandal, Miss Marple baits a clever trap to catch a ruthless killer.
Many of the characters in The Body in the Library first appeared in Murder at the Vicarage, the first full-length Miss Marple mystery.
My Rating: 5
