3.0

The body in the library takes a mystery trope and turns it on its head in a fun way. It has a really neat twist at the end that I didn't see coming, but reasonably speaking you could figure it out with the given hints if you're clever enough. 

Unfortunately, I don’t think I'll be reading Agatha Christie again anytime soon. The stories are quite entertaining but I care little for the characters and they feel a little dated.
