There aren't similarities between CURTAIN and SLEEPING MURDER. Future blog posts will be used to explore some of what I have learnt in my journey. It is a journey that began just on six years ago, although I had read many of the novels in paperback form in the late 1960s. So this is the end of my journey, the last novel in my Agatha Christie Reading Challenge, to read her novels more or less in order of publication. In contrast, I had never before, as far as I can remember, read CURTAIN, and I have resolved to look for David Suchet's adaptation. I have actually read SLEEPING MURDER before, and seen TV adaptations, so the story was not new, and I had a vague memory of how it resolved. Secondly I think the writing style is actually Christie at her peak, and a little better than in CURTAIN, Poirot's last case. Jane Marple is old but not as old as she is in NEMESIS. The first thing that struck me is that this doesn't really feel like Miss Marple's "last case". ‘perfect’ crime committed many years before. Worse, she felt an irrational sense of terror The owner of a seaside villa is plagued by strange feelings about its past…Īfter Gwenda moved into her new home, odd things started to happen.ĭespite her best efforts to modernise the house, she only succeeded inĭredging up its past.
