About this listen
A malicious letterA tragic deathA village filled with suspects
Nothing ever happens in the sleepy village of Lymstock.
Until letters accusing the villagers of unspeakable acts start to appear.
They try to dismiss them as a cruel hoax, but then one of the recipients is found dead. The letter next to her body reads simply, ‘I can’t go on’.
As fear spreads among the villagers, Jane Marple must uncover who is writing these letters – before anyone else is hurt.

‘Miss Marple is one of the most subversive, the most original, most distinctive characters in fiction. Often underestimated and overlooked, she always triumphs in the end.’ Kate Mosse
‘Beyond all doubt the puzzle in The Moving Finger is fit for experts.’ The Times

Needed more Marple
I really liked the story overall but I’m not sure why it’s classed as a Marple story if she’s only kinda there for the last 20%

Richard E. and Agatha
Is there a better combination? Agatha Christie, Miss Marple and Richard E Grant?
Well crafted characters, intriguing plot and brilliant characterisations.
A wonderful way to begin my winter holiday.

Another great one!
I really enjoyed how Marple appeared at the end! Wasn't clever enough to guess it and was somewhat disappointed with how cliche the murder really was. Still - very enjoyable as always!

Best narrator ever!
Loved, loved, loved this book. Far exceeded my hopes as I really enjoyed the Tele-movie - but the book is SO much better! Richard E Grant’s narration is superb. The book is written in the first person from Jerry’s perspective and Richard was thoroughly convincing. I will listen this more than once.

.
Richard E Grant did a fantastic job narrating this book. One of my favourite of Christie's novels, he definitely did it justice.

Loved it!
Any additional comments?
I loved this book. Richard E Grant did a wonderful job reading this book. It was easy to follow and incredibly engaging. Even though Miss Marple only appeared for a few short minutes at the end of the book, it was still a great story. :)

A charming little murder mystery
An Agatha Christie story I hadn’t been aware of before. Richard E Grant brings all the characters to life with fantastic voices - it’s a really fun listen.

Cracking read by Grant
Richard E Grant has a naturally expressive - some might say sarcastic - tone that lends itself well to the slightly cynical main character in this book. He does all the other voices well too, full of expression.
