![]() ![]() Although not experiencing quite the same, I am sure we have all, at some time, visited a place which we had not been to for many years, and have felt those curious feelings of familiarity: and those feelings linger with us. Sleeping Murder: Miss Marples Last Case is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and first published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club in. She told jurors she hadn’t meant to kill him, only put him to sleep. Rebecca faces life behind bars after a jury found her guilty of the murder of her husband Noel Payne, who was given a fatal dose of Temazepam, laced in the icing of biscuits she gave him with a cup of Milo. In those immediately post war years, there were not many sizeable houses coming on the market, because they were all in the hands of families who had passed them on down the generations for years beforehand, so I think it feasible that such a coincidence would occur. But prosecutors say she could have just left. You could visit a house which you had known as a very young child, and had sort of forgotten about since. I also find the original premise, as usual with Christie, both very satisfactory and clever. It is a real drama, with real human content and interest. For me, what is clever, good and convincing is the way in which AC presents the awkwardness people feel on being asked about the cold case years after it happened, their embarrassment over what they were like then, the normal human delicacies. I think the details and setting in Sleeping Murder is very good. ![]()
