The Body in the Library will not work in modern era as it is because DNA profiling (since mid 1970s). The main trick by the murderer is the body double in order to get the alibi.

In case where the trick is the same, the police will knew the body is not belong to the missing dancer.

🤔 adapting old story into modern setting is hard because technology lol

Sherlock BBC is good at this.... unfortunately generally it was bad 😔

Will read the book (turns out I don't have one, turns out I read it from library) and will rewatch the ITV version.

I read somewhere that BBC recently acquired rights for new adaptation.

Sad Cypress in modern era also won't work 😂

The real murderer lied and told the defendant that she got pricked by a rose thorn while in reality she injected herself with apomorfin to forced vomit the morfin.

...today's syringe needles is too small to be mistaken as pricked by the rose thorn....
