summar for "The body in the library"?

Answer 1

Her old friend Mrs. Bantry has called Miss Marple in again. It seems that the body of a dead blonde lies on the library floor, much to the chagrin of the servants. Miss Marple is only too happy to help, as there's nothing she likes better than nosing around in other people's business. Stephanie Cole manages just the right tone for this breezy story of English village life of sixty years ago. Taking you back to a simpler time and place, Cole performs with a chatty intimacy that lets you feel you might be at the next table overhearing (in true Miss Marple fashion) some intriguing goings-on. A wonderful diversion for a long car ride or a quiet winter evening.

Miss Marple makes her second appearance in this novel. Her dear friends, Col. and Mrs. Bantry, have the unpleasant experience of having the body of a rather cheap-looking blonde found in their library. The unidentified corpse does not appear to be at all the type of person the Bantrys would associate with, and tongues begin wagging in the village. The search to identify the body involves many interesting characters: Ruby Keene, a professional dancer who has been reported missing; Josephine Turner, her cousin; Raymond Starr, exhibition dancer and tennis pro; and Conway Jefferson, a man confined to a wheelchair as the result of an accident that killed his wife and children. Mr. Jefferson was rumored to have been quite taken with the exotic Ruby. Add to this mix the Bantrys next door neighbor, Basil Blake, who is a "party animal" and been known to consort with film stars and others of loose reputations, according to the gossip-mongers in the village.
The professional detectives are baffled and it is our shy and quiet Miss Marple who solves the case because of her past experiences and observations of how people act, particularly young girls.
