Overall, I really liked this Agatha Christie novel. I liked the way memory came up in this novel and the concept of unconsciously remembering. It's also interesting that back in the day a cold case used to be called a "sleeping murder." I liked Miss Marple's role in this novel better than in the first one. She was less of a side character and more available to help with the mystery and even ended a hero. I love Christie's plot twist. I feel like at some point while reading, I suspect everyone, but when it's revealed I still feel a bit surprised. for this one the pill bottles on the cover gave it away to me, but it was still quite the mystery.
