There’s a lovely moment where Mrs Bantry leans on the local constable guarding the library, so Miss Marple can view the corpse before the arrival of Inspector Slack. A platinum blonde is lying strangled on the bearskin hearthrug and none of the household has ever seen her before.įortunately, Dolly Bantry immediately sends the car for her friend Jane Marple. Life in St Mary Mead is unchanged – apart from the racy young man, connected with films, who has taken ‘Mr Booker’s new house’ – until a body is discovered at Gossington Hall. Though published in 1942 – the first of two that year – it contains no reference to the War until a single mention near the end. This novel is the second outing for Miss Marple. Colonel and Mrs Bantry had always believed that ‘a body in the library’ only happened in books. ![]()
