I love Agatha Christie and adore Miss Marple, so it was a disappointment that Miss Marple is more of a side character in this mystery. It’s still a good mystery but I want Miss Marple at the center of it.
I have never been able to stand miss Marple mysteries and this is no different. The dull as ditchwater characters, the stubborn Britishness of the heroic characters who are invariably such stalwarts of appropriateness. It's sickening. Noone seems to have a job but murderers, servants and loveless creeps.

My read of the Miss Marple series has ended on a high note and I am sad that it is over. In Sleeping Murder we are following newlyweds Gwenda and Giles as they start their life in their new home. Soon after moving in Gwenda begins to have a sense that she has been here before and begins to scare her. To get away she takes up the offer of her husband’s friends Raymonds to come visit in London. While she is there she meets his aunt Miss Marple. While they are watching a play Together she again has decision. Miss Marple after she hears worries has a reasonable explanation for all of the things that are happening. Naturally it involves solving a murder. I absolutely loved this book and it is definitely one of my favorites in this series. I had a suspicion as to who the murderer was and I was right but that did not take away from my enjoyment of the book at all. I highly recommend this book and the series. I now only need to read some of the short stories and I will be completely finished.
