What have you done with the advice, let sleeping dogs lie? Does it stop your forward motion or quicken your curiosity?

Gwenda and Giles Reed are euphoric newlyweds from New Zealand moving to England to establish residence and begin a family. Twenty-one year old Gwenda intuitively selects an old Victorian home in the seaside town of Dillmouth.

The next phase of married life will be the renovation of Hillside which feels increasingly familiar to Gwenda with each planned change, that being impossib...more

I realize this is the last book, and so there is no way of tying up loose ends. but after reading other Miss Marple mysteries, I was surprised that this one made her out to be pretty nimble, doing the neighbor's gardening and such, since in other previous Marple books, she was rendered as a feeble old lady, not fit for detective work.

Even so, her doctor recommends fresh sea breezes, and so she goes out, and - surprize! - stumbles upon a murder case that is 18 years cold. Of course, Dame Christie...more

Gwenda and her new husband, Giles, were moving to England from New Zealand. Gwenda came first to find a house. She found one that seemed perfect to her. The only trouble was that she kept having irrational feelings about the house-a feeling of terror one day as she was on the stairs, a feeling that the dining room should lead right into the drawing room but there was no longer a door between the two rooms, etc. As time goes on, she starts to think she’s going crazy, particularly when one of her visions on the staircase is of looking through the railing and seeing a woman dead on the floor, and knowing, despite her young age, that the woman was strangled and that her name was Helen. Then she meets Miss Marple. She tells Miss Marple about her feelings, and Miss Marple believes that the feelings are not irrational or supernatural, but that Gwenda has lived in the house earlier in her life. She finds out that this is true, and that her step-mother, whose name was Helen, disappeared from that house, seemingly leaving her father for another man. But what happened to her step-mother? If she is still alive, why hasn’t she contacted anyone? If she’s not alive, did she ever leave her husband’s house? And if she didn’t, where is her body buried? Gwenda, her husband,Giles, and Miss Marple work together to solve the crime. The danger increases substantially as they get closer to the truth. I had not read this mystery although I have read many of Agatha Christie’s mysteries. I love the kind of mystery where you have to analyze particular things to come up with the truth, so different than the thrillers and espionage and serial killer mysteries that flood so much of the market today. Stephanie Cole was a great narrator for Miss Marple. In reclaiming some of those old mysteries I have to be careful because, unfortunately, several of the Miss Marples are narrated by Joan Hickson, who played Miss Marple on PBS, and I hate her interpretation of the character. But this one was excellent.

I joined Goodreads to review this book. I had read every one of Christie's books in younger days. I still love cozy mysteries as well as pychological dark ones. But I needed to say that in this book, Christie reveals her personal ideas and life more than any other. There is a character in the book who I think Christie patterned after her personal life. There is an unattractive woman who is married to a very charming man and everyone feels sorry for the husband whose wife is a jealous unhappy wom...more

***First off, just to clarify the description provided by Goodreads--it's not Miss Marple's nephew's wife. The main characters are a lovely young couple that Miss Marple meets via her nephew.***

This book was written waaaay before it was published in 1976. It sat in a deposit box waiting for the light of day. So there may be some inconsistancies with the rest of the series...but Miss Marple is not a series that you have to read in-order, in order to enjoy it.

Miss Marple's sort of a guardian angel in her last book here, and as I prefer her in a more active role, I didn't like this as much. The actual mystery was pretty good, but the whole "let sleeping murders lie" folderol, though not as annoying as matching murders to nursery rhymes, did grate.

I like Agatha Christie best in that very narrow time period before the Alzheimer's/dementia stopped her plots from making sense, but after she was old enough to relax her super-uptight, judgmental tone. Loose...more

She is a little in the background in this one (her last mystery), and I suspect that Christie may have been paving the way for a new lady detective, Gwenda (perhaps paired with husband Giles) because she lets the young newlyweds do a lot of the investigating.

I've noticed that the murders that Agatha Christie places in the relative past, that is prior to the current investigation, well these murders always have the bodies tumbled out of the cupboard. Books of Agatha Christie that use this device appeal to me, and also to many others, judging by the several mysteries where the author uses this trick.

It is a trick after all, a very solid gimmick that engenders macabre feelings like there was no tomorrow. I scarcely noticed that Miss Marple was not being her usual self, she didn't draw too much parallel with human psychology when explaining her thoughts at the end. In fact there's little proof that Miss Marple knew with certainty of the murderer's identity. There's no proof of the doctor's crime even. Thankfully it's not one of those stories where the frail Miss Marple derails the mind of a hardened serial killer, with cheap tricks, like in "A Murder Is Announced" for example.

So yeah I solved this case. However, the case was very deceiving and I was up against a palpable wall of fog. There was not much to latch onto. There is no slow start to this book, which was one of the reasons for the five stars I gave it. I was completely baffled by the events leading to the bewilderment of one Gwenda Reed. Along with the sense of evil there's a forbidding atmosphere and a hint of regret and a pining at the waste of life.

There were two things that put me on the right track. First the action of cutting that tennis net to shreds. Secondly, the murderer is mostly the one who is able to influence the case and distort facts to his advantage. I didn't pick on the wound that Helen got on her foot. I only knew that the doctor didn't have a brain teaser of an alibi.

I absolutely loved the quote from the Duchess of Malfi. The quote, which I can't paste because it's too much of a bother to go look for it in my ebook, defines the galling evilness of the crime. It also gave away the fact that the murderer was insane to a degree. I would have wanted for Miss Marple to rant against the wicked nature of the crime, but she was surprisingly passive in this book. If I remember correctly there was one moment where her eyes expressed anger but that was in the middle of the book and at that time she wasn't sure of the solution to the murder.

Another reason for liking this book so much is the vivid depiction of the characters. Among all the pure and innocent characters that Agatha Christie has thrust upon our readership, the young Reed couple was one the most believable. It's very difficult to make decent, innocent characters come to life. The author presents Gwenda and her husband in their non British simplicity. They are so pure that the finicky English countryside people warm up to them with no trouble. It's unclear whether the main protagonists had a New Zealand accent and how strong it was. But the Reed couple were life like and they hid the fact that they were cogs in the story which I enjoyed very much.

This is, I regret, already the last Marple book that was unread uptil now. The book called Nemesis had a similar strong presence of evil and a murder set in the past, with a close person as the murderer. Miss Marple books are as fine as Alice In Wonderland or Sherlock Holmes stories. They are the finest simple sustenance that the English literature can impart to the young and not so young. They are to be cherished.(less)

Although it was subtitled (and publicized) as "Miss Marple's Last Case" it really wasn't (I don't think current reprints even carry that line anymore) - the setting of the story actually occurs somewhere between THE MOVING FINGER (1942/43) and A MURDER IS ANNOUNCED (1950) - in fact, the performance of the play DUCHESS OF MALFI, which sets things in motion, firmly sets SLEEPING MURDER in 1945, for John Gielgud is cited in the text as the star. It was long thought that Christie had written SLEEPING MURDER early in the 1940s, when she wrote CURTAIN, Hercule Poirot's last case (perhaps because she herself stated this in AN AUTOBIOGRAPHY) but her Notebooks now suggest that the novel gestated during the mid-1940s and was probably written in the late 1940s - along with the Poirot novel, it resided in a bank vault, heavily insured, with the title COVER HER FACE (a direct quote from DUCHESS) - by the early 1960s, of course, that title had been used by P.D. James for her debut novel, and though there's no law about two novels having the same title, an alternative title was chosen, though whether by Christie herself or by her daughter and/or publisher, isn't known. What is known is that SLEEPING MURDER is at best average Christie, and not really quite up to the standards of several of her other 1940s works. Coincidence plays a big part in this book, and though coincidences do indeed occur in real life, as Miss Marple assures Gwenda Reed, we're asked to remember that a young woman of 21 or so would have no memory of having lived in England as a child, let alone unknowingly buy the very house she'd lived in for a time!

I'm also quite sure that in 1976 I zipped through SLEEPING MURDER in an evening, most likely in heated anticipation of learning Miss Marple's fate -or perhaps finished it the next day - not the case this time!

Christie's British characters were still distrustful of non-whites and foreigners at the time she wrote SLEEPING MURDER, and when it is most likely set: In the Collins (UK) edition, one of the characters, an old man who's done service in India, recalls former inhabitants of Gwenda's house: "Used to send out tracts. Plain women, all of 'em --- Took an interest in niggers --- Sent 'em out trousers and bibles. Very strong on converting the heathen." In the US edition published by Dodd, Mead "niggers" has been replaced by "the natives." Of course, at this time, Christie's classic AND THEN THERE WERE NONE was still published in the UK under its original title, TEN LITTLE NIGGERS.

Also, the US typesetter must have needed glasses: the first chapter of the novel is "A House" in the British edition (which is quite appropriate), and "A Mouse" in the US version (which, of course, makes no sense at all)!!!

3/24/11: If SLEEPING MURDER has a particular drawback, I'd say it's the one it has in common with several Christie books: intertia. Because it's more or less of the 'murder in retrospect' variety, not much really happens aside from a lot of discussion or thought about what might have happened 18 years before - various characters enter the story at different points, but basically all they do is talk (though developments pick up the pace a bit in the last 40 pages or so, which actually makes the ending seem sort of rushed).

It's also worth noting that NEMESIS (the last Marple novel Christie wrote) and SLEEPING MURDER (the last Marple novel published) written at least 20 years apart, share a common factor: both are 'murder in retrospect' novels concerning the death of a young woman who wanted to break away from a smothering, unhealthy relationship, and both young women were murdered by someone who loved her - too much.

I think I've mentioned it here before, and I'll mention it again, but Agatha Christie is a writing genius. One has to wonder about the sheer number of mysteries she wrote, and the fact that each one is as original as the other.
