The Body in the Library by Agatha Christie
3.0
A delightful return to the Miss Marple series after several years of neglect on my part. The Body in the Library was built solidly on the device often used whereas an early morning alarm is raised by a maid making the discovery that there's a body in the library!
This installment had a really humorous start, but that level of comedy slowly tapered off by the end. I was also a bit underwhelmed by the motive and the resultant multi-step murder that seemed to have been made complex for author's sake, rather than something truly believable for a murderer to have concocted. Nevertheless, Christie's writing is generally the type that makes you remember why you like cozy mysteries in the first place.

Her voice and performance seem perfectly suited to Christie and her characters.
