General
Cheryl Lyda presents Women posted at Agatha Christie's Wit & Wisdom, saying, "March is women's history month, so let's see what Agatha Christie wrote about women: "Odd if it’s really that newspaper character 'the housewife' who has come into her own through war conditions. The women who, hindered by innumerable 'shall nots,' were not helped by any definite 'shalls.' Women who had to plan and think and improvise, who had to use every inch of the ingenuity they had been given, and to develop an ingenuity that they didn’t know they had got! They alone…could stand upright without a crutch, responsible for themselves and others." --Lynn Marchmont, There is a Tide, 1948
Find this and other Christie quotes on Agatha Christie's Wit & Wisdom, along with full bibliographic information."

BooksPlease presents Sleeping Murder by Agatha Christie: a Book Review posted at BooksPlease, saying, "Miss Marple tackles a 'cold case' murder in her last case. this was written in the 1940s but was only published in 1976 after Agatha Christie's death."
Nan also presents Sleeping Murder by Agatha Christie posted at Letters from a Hill Farm. saying, "This was published posthumously, and is referred to as 'Miss Marple's Last Case,' though happily for the reader she is not infirm, nor does she die. In fact, I thought her more sensitive, and sharper than I've seen her before."
