The indomitable sleuth Miss Marple is led to a small town with shameful secrets in Agatha Christie's classic detective story, The Moving Finger.

Lymstock is a town with more than its share of scandalous secrets—a town where even a sudden outbreak of anonymous hate mail causes only a minor stir.

But all that changes when one of the recipients, Mrs. Symmington, commits suicide. Her final note says "I can't go on," but Miss Marple questions the coroner's verdict of suicide. Soon nobody is sure of anyone—as secrets stop being shameful and start becoming deadly.

      James Saxon's narration is like that of an old friend divulging a fascinating personal ordeal. Each personality reveals eccentricity with charming contrast and gusto. B.J.P. (c)AudioFile, Portland, Maine
    • AudioFile Magazine
      A superb Miss Marple on stage and television (she was Agatha Christie's own choice to play the famous octogenarian detective), Joan Hickson is somewhat disappointing as the narrator of this crackling good yarn about small-town venality and murder. Her presentation too often lacks the necessary pauses to effect transitions, the distinctions among characters, the drama, the puzzlement a mystery reader must employ in order to be first-rate. At times, she slurs words and phrases badly. Still, Christie fans who stay the course will accept these slips as a small price to pay for what is, as usual with Christie and Miss Marple, a masterpiece of misdirection and skilled detection. T.H.
