In An Autobiography Christie explains that she ‘had written an extra two books during the first years of the war’ and ‘those two books, when written, were put in the vaults of a bank.’ Therefore, it was originally thought that it was written in the early 1940s. There is much discussion around when the story was first written. In doing this, Christie ensured that after her own death, her two best known detectives would have their final say. Curtain: Poirot’s Last Case was left for her daughter Rosalind, and Sleeping Murder: Miss Marple’s Last Case was for her husband Max. More about this story: Whilst living in London during the Second World War, Agatha Christie stored away two special books in the vault of a bank for safekeeping, and these were to remain there until Agatha Christie’s death. Things she couldn’t possibly know about the house feel oddly familiar: a sealed room, a hidden connecting door, an irrational sense of terror every time she climbs the stairs…ĭoes the secret lie in a crime committed there many years before? Strange things have started to happen in Gwenda’s new house. The story is set in the 1930s, though written during the Second World War. Released posthumously, it was the last published Christie novel, although not the last Miss Marple novel in order of writing. First published in the UK by the Collins Crime Club in October 1976 and in the US by Dodd, Mead and Company later in the same year. HarperCollins Masterpiece Ed edition, 2010.
