Summary: Who Done It?
Comment: This story is about Gwenda and Giles Reed, and a woman named Miss Marple. Together, they uncovered an unrecognized and unreported mystery, the murder of Helen Halliday (Gwenda's dead stepmother). Gwenda and Giles are determined to solve the mystery while going against Miss Marple's advice to let a sleeping murder lie. They set off to find out who did it while getting clues from people who knew Helen Halliday and Kelvin Halliday (Gwenda's father) when they were alive.
I thought this book was excellent. Agatha Christie is now my second favorite author. Sleeping Murder was so good that I couldn't put it down and I read it in one night! Agatha Christie keeps it interesting throughout the book, so there aren't any boring parts. I thought she did a really good job describing the book too. Like "Mrs. Mountford's back parlour was a comfortable room. It had a round table covered with cloth, and some old-fashioned armchairs and a stern-looking, but unexpectedly well-sprung sofa against the wall. There were china dogs and other ornaments on the mantelpiece, and a framed coloured representation of the Princesses Elizabeth and Margaret Rose." You can just picture that scene in your head. My favorite part of the book was in Chapter 24 Scene 2, where Dr. Kennedy tries to murder her. When I was reading that part of the book, I was zoned out because I was just so kept up in suspense. I'd rate this book a 5 out of 5 stars because this is an excellent book and if you like really captivating books, I would highly recommend it for you to read.

Summary: Let sleeping murders lie
Comment: Gwen Reed was shopping for a house for herself and newly married husband Giles when she came across what seemed to be just the perfect house in southern England.
Being born in India and raised in New Zealand, why then did she have the sense of dejavu about the house? Somehow, her picture of what the house should look like after renovations coincided with exactly how the house used to look like. Even scarier, she could picture a strangled woman in the hall and knew her name was Helen. Yet, there never was a murder reported in the region for ages.
Enter Ms Marple who guessed Gwen might possibly have spent time in the house as a very young child and might possibly have witnessed a murder. But how would one go about solving a murder twenty years before which had no prior record? How would the Reeds start when they were both newly migrated to England?
Ms Marple's advise to let sleeping murder lie went unheeded by the young couple. Somewhere, there was a murderer who committed the perfect, almost perfect, crime and had been probably been comforted by the years of safety. The Reeds did not realize it at first, that what they embarked on would arouse a dangerous sentiment in a person who would do anything to keep feeling safe.
