Le colonel Bantry est contrarié : une jeune femme, vêtue d'une toilette tape-à-l'oeil, a été retrouvée étranglée dans sa bibliothèque. Cruelle énigme pour la police. Heureusement, le manoir des Bantry est situé non loin du village de miss Marple. Cette sympathique vieille dame pleine de bon sens permettra-t-elle, une fois de plus, de dénouer toute l'affaire ? 4eme de couv.

Review of 'The Body in the Library (Miss Marple Mysteries)' on 'Goodreads'

3 stars

This was my first time reading Agatha Christie. I found her characters surprisingly funny and interesting and the plotting, of course, drove the book. Incredible, how well those two dynamics inspire voracious reading: plot and character. Christie has no obvious thematic interests. There is no analysis of the human condition here, nor any theoretical concerns relating to language, meaning, or metaphysical identity (at least not in this book). Yet her ability to craft a compelling, mathematical proof of plotting is masterful. I can see why so many readers have read so much of her work. I'll soon count myself among them.
