crusoe 's review for:

The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie
3.0
dark mysterious fast-paced
Plot or Character Driven: Plot
Strong character development: No
Loveable characters: Complicated
Diverse cast of characters: No
Flaws of characters a main focus: No

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.
