The Body in the Library

I try not to solve mysteries. Especially Agatha Christie ones. It only ends up that I'm wrong anyway. This one was kind of a funny one. A lot of things going on. And a lot of twists. I must say some didn't make sense. But it did work out. Story was good!

There is a body in the library. Ma'm there is. Mary Bantry trying to get her husband Colonel Bantry to check it out. But he doesn't believe that there is a body. So what is a person to do?
Call Miss Marple of course, Mary Bantry's friend. She's good at bodies.

Miss Marple comes and surveys the scene. Of course she has her ideas. Two murders. Why? Two twists, mistakes get made.
Miss Marple tries to convince The Bantry's just because someone may have a bad reputation doesn't mean they killed them. But who did, and why the library?
Miss Marple says people including policemen are too trusting in this wicked world.

Is that how people see Miss Marple? A straight backed old lady with a familiar face. Or is it just certain people think that Miss Marple should stop being a noisy body?
Miss Marple's methods of untwisting the strange could be called amateurish. Shame for the two that were murdered. For money or for attention. Either or Miss Marple solves the mystery. But at the end someone really doesn't know what's going on. And someone/es does.
