The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie
4.0
A good, quick, classic murder mystery. I love the simplicity of Christie’s writing. I definitely did not see the ending coming, but there were clues I would pick up on if I were to read this a second time. This is truly a good starter for anyone who is interested in reading murder mystery but doesn’t like gory, dark tones, as the story is light and easy to digest (nightmare-free zone!).
My complaints are that there were a few useless characters and too many police/colonels involved- I would’ve liked to see Christie narrow it down a bit. I didn’t understand why some characters were listed in the beginning cast descriptions and some were not.
Miss Marple is a gem and I’m excited to read more of the series. Solid 3.5 stars!
