A MALICIOUS LETTER A TRAGIC DEATH A 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.

NEVER UNDERESTIMATE MISS MARPLE

reviewed The Moving Finger by Agatha Christie (Miss Marple, #3)

Another classic Christie

The Moving Finger is another classic Marple book, narrated from the point of view of one Jerry Burton who has recently moved to Lymstock to recover from injury.

The book follows Jerry and the other villagers as they try to figure out who is sending anonymous letters to people, and killing people off.

Naturally, Miss Marple turns up, and is the one who truly figures things out. You'll constantly be guessing and trying to figure it out the whole way through, but you won't get it, and the ending is always satisfying as usual.

A recommended read.
