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.\n\nWritten 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?\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49160998125787,"sku":"2026200014207-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/a4dd2d96-344b-4fab-ba2f-532a8eaa8e50.png?v=1787188739","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200014207-secondhand-sleeping-murder-miss-marples-last-case","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
