About this audiobook
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.
Never underestimate Miss Marple
‘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.’

Readers find this title to be a very enjoyable Miss Marple story with excellent narration. The story is an excellent psychological thriller that keeps readers engaged until the end. Richard E. Grant's performance as the narrator is superb and he brings the characters to life."
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5Excellent! Richard E. Grant's masterful characterisation brought Lymstock to life. This is one of my favourite Christie novels and one of which the writer herself was very proud (quoted in her Autobiography.) Thoroughly enjoyed from start to finish.
