The body in the library agatha christie paperback 160 pages ISBN 0671828150 Dolly Bantry's reaction on seeing the body of a beautiful, but dead, blonde in her library at Gossington Hall is to immediately call for her friend Jane Marple. The police identify the girl as Ruby Keene. She was reported missing by elderly invalid Conway Jefferson who, fond of Ruby, planned to adopt her -- much against his family's wishes. What the young woman was doing in the quiet village of St. Mary Mead is precisely what Jane Marple means to find out. When the body of another dead girl turns up, Miss Marple baits a clever trap to catch this ruthless killer.
