Usnulo umorstvo: Posljednji slučaj gospođice Marple

Agatha Christie

Sleeping Murder is the last Miss Marple novel, written during World War II. The story focuses on young Gwenda Reed and a mysterious murder from her past. Christie masterfully builds suspense, and Miss Marple excels with her intuition.

Gwenda, a newlywed, comes to England from New Zealand and buys a house in Dillmouth. She soon begins to experience unexplained memories: visions of a dead woman on the staircase and a sense of fear associated with the words "blindfold". It turns out that she lived in the house as a child. Worried, she seeks the help of Miss Marple, who suspects that Gwenda's visions are connected to an unsolved crime.

The investigation reveals that as a child Gwenda witnessed the murder of her stepmother, Helen Kennedy, who disappeared 18 years ago. Officially, Helen was presumed to have fled, but Gwenda and her husband Giles, along with Miss Marple, dig deeper. They question old friends and relatives, including Helen's brother, Dr. Kennedy, and former suitors. Miss Marple warns that the investigation could awaken a "sleeping murder" and cause danger.

Through conversations and subtle clues, Miss Marple discovers that Helen was murdered by Dr. Kennedy, an obsessive brother who could not stand her lifestyle. He manipulated the situation to cover up the crime. In the end, Kennedy tries to kill Gwenda, but Miss Marple prevents the tragedy.
