The novel produced two television adaptations and a radio version. I never warmed up to the 1975 novel, but I became a fan of the latter one. During the early 1970s, the author authorized the publication of “Curtain” for 1975 and “Sleeping Murder” for 1976. Christie wrote both novels and placed them in a bank vault, in case she failed to survive the Blitz. In fact, she did the same for the 1975 Hercule Poirot novel, “Curtain”. In fact, it is such a big favorite of mine that when I learned about the recent 2006 adaptation that aired on Britain’s ITV network, I made a great effort to find it on DVD.Īlthough the 1976 novel proved to be the last Christie novel featuring elderly sleuth, Miss Jane Marple, the author wrote it during the early years of World War II. The 1976 novel, “Sleeping Murder” is one of my favorites written by mystery writer, Agatha Christie. ![]()
