The Moving Finger

Miss Jane Marple ponders an outbreak of hate-mail and a trail of death. Agatha Christie whodunit, starring June Whitfield.

The sleepy little market town of Lymstock harbours more than its share of shameful secrets. A town where even a sudden outbreak of anonymous hate-mail causes only a minor stir.

But all of that changes when one of the recipients tragically commits suicide.

Miss Marple's knowledge of wickedness and her nose for evil are desperately needed.

Can she manage to prevent another suicide - or even, murder...?

First published in 1943, Agatha Christie's whodunit stars June Whitfield as Miss Marple.
