The Body in the Library : B1

Collins brings the Queen of Crime, Agatha Christie, to English language learners.

Agatha Christie is the most widely published author of all time and in any language. Now Collins has adapted her famous detective novels for English language learners. These carefully abridged versions are shorter with the language targeted at learners of English.

Colonel Bantry and his wife Dolly live in a grand old house outside a small village. Nothing ever happens there.

Imagine their surprise when one morning they are woken by their maid who tells them that the body of a girl has been found in their study. Who is she? And how did she end up on their rug?

Dolly asks her friend Miss Marple to help discover the truth – can she help explain this mystery and clear Colonel Bantry’s name?
