The Body in the Library
by Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie writes with such clarity and brevity that I'm not used to. Her no-nonsense style appeals to me, and the mystery was only 220 pages, which was perfect for a summer morning read. The whodunit mystery was a fun play on the "body in the library" with a very Clue-like feel. Miss Marple rocks!
Quotes:
"Bodies are always being found in libraries in books." - (Colonel Bantry, page 4)
"What I feel is that if one has got to have a murder actually happening in one's house, one might as well enjoy it, if you know what I mean." (Mrs. Dolly Bantry, page 9)
"Downstairs in the lounge, by the third pillar from the left, there sits an old lady with a sweet, placid spinsterish face and a mind that has plumbed the depths of human iniquity and taken it as all in the day's work." (Sir Henry Clithering, page 103)
"The truth is, you see, that most people - and I don't exclude policemen - are far too trusting for this wicked world. They believe what is told them. I never do. I'm afraid I always like to prove a thing for myself." (Miss Jane Marple, page 210)
