The Body In Library

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Full Cast, Jack Watling, June Whitfield, Pauline Jameson

Dolly Bantry, mistress of Gossington Hall, is enjoying a pleasant doze when suddenly her dreams take a strange turn. The housemaid Mary is telling her that there is a body in the library... When she wakes up, she finds that it is true. But who is the strange young blonde dressed in an evening gown who is lying strangled on the library hearth rug? Enter St Mary Mead's resident sleuth, Miss Marple. With her keen eye for the complexities of human nature and her observational skills, she studies the body closely and makes mental notes. But even she cannot provide an immediate explanation. The police hunt through reports of missing persons, and before long the identity of the victim becomes obvious. What is not apparent, however, is how she ended up on the Bantrys' library floor. Sifting every word from the suspects and exploring every possible motive, Miss Marple slowly comes to a shocking conclusion. Agatha Christie's puzzling mystery is dramatised with a full cast including Richard Todd, Pauline Jameson and Jack Watling.

Great dramatization of a classic Agatha

Would you consider the audio edition of The Body in the Library (Dramatised) to be better than the print version?

Both print and audio editions are good. I read this printed many times and I found the audio edition equally entertaining.

Did the plot keep you on the edge of your seat? How?

still good even having read it many times before

Wonderful

This book really threw me into a crazy amount of guessing. I never knew who was going to me the murderer. Simply wonderful!

Terrific but short

This is a first-rate adaptation of one of Agatha Christie’s best novels. I thoroughly enjoyed it. Alas, it was pretty short for the money. Oh well. It made a dark January after known enjoyable.

Enjoyed!

I typically do bot care for dramatizations of Christie's works as they are often overly dramatic and the music too loud. This one was neither. It was just fine. I enjoyed the story and the the dramatization both. #Mystery #AmateurDetective #Tagsgiving #Sweepstakes

Great BBC radio audiobook

Like the voice of June Whitfield as Miss Marple. All of these Christie BBC radio programs have been excellent with music and sound in the background.
