Sleeping Murder by Agatha Christie

For second quarter, I read the book Sleeping Murder by Agatha Christie. In the book, the main characters, Gwenda and Giles were moving to England from New Zealand. The house they moved into gives Gwenda dejavu, and she soon finds out that she once lived there during her early childhood. Not only that, she finds out that her step mother mysteriously disappeared from that house while they lived there, 17 years before. This book is very slow, and focuses on one plot, so there was minimal development among side characters. Because of this, my favorite character is Gwenda.

Gwenda does not lead a similar life as me, but I relate to her drive to find the answer to the mystery of her step mother. Throughout the book, Gwenda continues to find out more and more dangerous revelations about what happened between her father and her step mother, but no matter what she found, she did not quit her search, and continued to find justice and close the case. Gwenda was driven to find the answer to this puzzle in her life, which I also find myself doing. In the same way that she was not satisfied with the sugar-coated answer she was given about her Step mother, I do not like not knowing the answer to something, and go out of my way to find it.
