A young woman moves into a charming English house and begins to experience unsettling flashes of memory — a strangled woman, a darkened staircase, a voice whispering in the dark — setting in motion one of the most chilling mysteries Agatha Christie ever conceived. In Sleeping Murder, Gwenda Reed's innocent quest to uncover the buried secrets of her childhood home draws the legendary Miss Jane Marple into a case where the past refuses to stay dead, and where the truth, once unearthed, may prove far more dangerous than ignorance. Written as a farewell to her most beloved amateur sleuth, Christie crafts a narrative of rare psychological tension, weaving domestic tranquillity against a backdrop of long-concealed violence. The novel stands as a masterclass in the cosy-yet-sinister tradition that made Christie the undisputed Queen of Crime, demonstrating her unparalleled ability to make the familiar deeply threatening. Published posthumously in 1976, Sleeping Murder is both a fitting swan song and an irresistible reminder of why Miss Marple — sharp, perceptive, and eternally underestimated — remains one of fiction's greatest detectives. Will Gwenda learn that some doors, once opened, can never be closed again?
