About this ebook

In Agatha Christie’s classic, Sleeping Murder, the indomitable Miss Marple turns ghost hunter and uncovers shocking evidence of a perfect crime.

Soon after Gwenda moved into her new home, odd things started to happen. Despite her best efforts to modernize the house, she only succeeded in dredging up its past. Worse, she felt an irrational sense of terror every time she climbed the stairs.

I am a pretty voracious consumer of all things mystery. It therefore goes without saying that I also am a lover of Christie. This story is so typical of the Marple tales with one fabulous exception. IMHO, the characters at the center of this story are so endearing and the most relatable to an American audience. If you enjoy this book, you would most likely also enjoy her Tommie and Tuppence books. If this isn't your cup of tea (pun intended) then you would most likely prefer her Poirot stories and some of her other fiction works. The beauty of Christie is that if you love a good mystery book, you will most likely find one by her that suits your taste to a T(ea). Enjoy!!!

Death is scheduled on the calendar; not interrupting anyone too much, creating volunteer charity work to do. Solving various problems at crime scenes and tying up loose ends in the days afterward. The victim is always the area the crime scenes are in; the deceased has a first & last name. Money is a bit separate from area company supply stores; therefore, is directly applied to a person's worth. The calendar is first priority set by companies for their supplies and employee schedule; money is for worth. Emotional language is reserved for the weather and never agrees well with characters. It usually their scene and they want to use their words for the area; weather ones just don't fit. They always lose their argument.

This is by far my favorite AC book - I love the twists and surprises, and the characters are precious.
