Newly-wed Gwenda Reed travels to England and buys a house which strongly appeals to her. She starts remembering all sorts of things about the house, and eventually discovers that it was the house in which she lived with her father and step-mother as a very young child. One day, while attending the theatre, she has a terrifying vision of a woman being strangled in the hallway of the house, while she watches from above. Is this a real memory, or just a nightmare? She turns to Miss Marple for help...

An absolutely excellent book. Thoroughly recommended.
WARNING! WARNING! Danger Will Robinson! The following spoiler contains major spoilers and should not be read by anyone who has not read both Sleeping Murder AND Curtain!!!


Spoiler:
Did you expect her to die, or worse, to prove to be the killer as Peroit himself did in Curtain?


(Answer in spoiler.)
