Readers, reading group and book club members, fans new and old of Agatha Christie have got a treat in store this weekend when the Agatha Christie novel The Body in the Library will be brought to life through Twitter.
On Friday 3 February, Stuart Bain, librarian at Orkney Library and Agatha Christie Ltd will be using a series of accounts set up for the main protagonists, and tweeting the events in the mystery from each of the chosen character’s point of view. The tweets will also be released as closely as possible to the ‘real-time’ of the story’s narrative, as there are clear times given for several of the main events in the novel, for instance from when Miss Marple’s telephone rings at a quarter to eight.
The serialisation will take approximately two days, culminating at the story’s denouement at 2pm on National Libraries Day on Saturday 4 February. At this point you will be invited to guess whodunnit – or encouraged to go to your library to find out.
