This is a twisted tale of a body muddle and a body double! Body Number One….The body of a young woman appears in the Bantry’s library and Miss Jane Marple is called in to unravel the mystery. Arriving before the police she investigates the scene seeing the body of a young woman with bitten fingernails, dressed in a cheap satin evening gown. Neither of the Bantry’s know the young woman so who is she and how did she end up strangled in their house?
Body Number Two…..
A young woman’s body is found in a burnt out car close enough to the places of interest to attract the interest of the investigators. How is it connected to the body in the library and how on earth did she get involved?
Miss Marple and Dolly Bantry set off to the hotel the young woman worked in on the trail of the truth which when it comes is far worse than anyone, except Jane, expected. Agatha Christie captivates with her precisely formed plots, delicate clues and delightfully detailed characters. You can see them and hear them as clearly as if you were in the room with them!
But with at least one murderer at large, perhaps it is best to NOT be in the room with them! Instead enjoy the book in the safety of your own home.
