Description

A first edition, first printing of The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie.

  • Agatha Christie (English).
  • London: Collins Crime Club, 1942.
  • In the dust wrapper, which has not been clipped, showing 7s 6d as called for.


Agatha Christie’s The Body in the Library (1942) features Miss Marple investigating the shocking discovery of an unknown young woman found dead in the Bantrys’ library. The seemingly respectable setting contrasts with the lurid nature of the crime. As Miss Marple unravels alibis, social pretenses, and hidden motives, the case leads to a seaside resort and a web of deceit involving identity, greed, and manipulation.
