BOOK DESCRIPTION FROM BACK COVER:
Of all the memorable characters in detective fiction,
Agatha Christie's Miss Jane Marple is among the most engaging. Unrivaled as
a female sleuth, she has captivated two generations of readers and
filmgoers. Sleeping Murder, Miss Marple's final case, was written when Dame
Agatha was at the peak of her creative talent, and has only recently been
released for publication. It marks a double farewell, first to Agatha
Christie, one of the greatest mystery writers of all time, and second to
that universally beloved spinster, Miss Jane Marple. The novel-in which Miss
Marple goes to the aid of a newlywed couple whose recently purchased
Victorian villa conceals a strange and frightening secret - is ingenious,
imaginative and utterly tantalizing.
Sleeping Murder becomes even more meaningful when
presented along with Miss Marple's first adventure, The Murder at the
Vicarage, in which she must discover which of the numerous persons who
confess to a seemingly impossible murder is guilty of the crime. The novel
won unanimous critical acclaim when originally published, the Saturday
Review calling it "without a doubt the best detective story Agatha Christie
has written since Roger Ackroyd."
