This book is 240 pages long and Miss Marple makes no appearance in this book until three-quarters of the way through. The first, and lesser, of the two is the fact that the blurb indicate Miss Marple is central to solving this mystery. There were two main problems with this book as far as I’m concerned. I haven’t read this title before so I went with it but I have to say, I was not that enamoured with this particular Christie title. Okay, we are looking at the third title in the Read Christie 2023 challenge here and the theme for this month was the motive of Anger. The official book choice this month is The Moving Finger, a book in which a small, country village is plagued by a series of vicious poison pen letters which soon lead to suicide, and then murder. The letter next to her body reads simply, ‘I can’t go on’.Īs fear spreads among the villagers, Jane Marple must uncover who is writing these letters – before anyone else is hurt. They try to dismiss them as a cruel hoax, but then one of the recipients is found dead. Until letters accusing the villagers of unspeakable acts start to appear. Nothing ever happens in the sleepy village of Lymstock.
