Sleeping Murder: Miss Marple's Last Case is a work of detective fiction by Agatha Christie and 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.

( When the police inspector sees Miss Marple he comments on a case of poison pen near Lymstock ; thus Sleeping Murder is set after the happenings in The Moving Finger, which was published in 1942.

It is generally believed that Christie wrote Curtain ( Hercule Poirot's last mystery, which concludes the sleuth's career and life ) and Sleeping Murder during World War II to be published after her death, and that Sleeping Murder was most probably written sometime during the Blitz, which took place between September 1940 and May 1941.

But the Agatha Christie / Edmund Cork and Harold Ober literary correspondence files, currently held at Exeter University in Devon, indicate Sleeping Murder was written early in 1940.

Christie's notebooks are open to imaginative interpretation and coloring in hindsight, and John Curran argues in his book Agatha Christie's Secret Notebooks that Sleeping Murder was still being planned at the end of the 1940s and the beginning of the 1950s.

But this argument is not supported by Janet Morgan's biography, Agatha Christie, or by Laura Thompson's biography, Agatha Christie: An English Mystery ; both biographers state unequivocally, without further explanation, that Sleeping Murder was written in 1940.

The original manuscript of Sleeping Murder was entitled Murder in Retrospect after one of the chapters in the book.

She then arranged to have Sleeping Murder published in 1976, but died before the publication.

Sleeping Murder is the last of Miss Marple's excursions into detection.

Sleeping Murder was filmed by the BBC as a 100-minute film in the sixth adaptation ( of twelve ) in the series Miss Marple starring Joan Hickson as Miss Marple.
