A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation starring June Whitfield as the sharp-witted spinster sleuth. 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. As she wakes up, it turns out to be true.... But who is the strange young blonde sprawled on the library floor? Enter St Mary Mead's resident sleuth, Miss Mary Marple.

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

Great dramatization of a classic Agatha

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.

Terrific but short

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

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.

Great BBC radio audiobook

Love these full scale reenactments. They're full of the atmosphere of English country life and our favorite sleuth is in her element.

June Whitfield is a fantastic Marple

Although this is not a long story, around 1 hour 30 minutes, it's a very good story. The plot is very good and character development is top notch. I thoroughly enjoyed it and heartily recommend it.

Agatha does it again!
