Sleeping Murder
by Agatha Christie
After a slow start, this novel picks up in an engaging way. Was there a murder? And how do you find out nearly 20 years later? Marple is present but rather in the background, as as guiding presence, with her down-to-earth, common sense logic. As always, I was fascinated how events can be interpreted in such different ways, and how by turning a little bit, the picture becomes totally different.
The wrong clothes clue really spoke to me and reminded me of Glaspell's [b:A Jury of Her Peers|264656|A Jury Of Her Peers|Susan Glaspell|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1348555569l/264656._SY75_.jpg|256563] where women were able to 'read' certain clues while the men just disregarded it. Very smart.
I am also in awe of Christie for writing this novel, as well as [b:Curtain: Poirot's Last Case|556113|Curtain Poirot's Last Case (Hercule Poirot, #42)|Agatha Christie|https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1465932344l/556113._SY75_.jpg|1726], during WWII, in case she didn’t make it. She wanted to make sure that her daughter and her husband would be taken care of. Little did she know that these would stay in a safe for 30 years.
