The Moving Finger

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Clare Corbett, Full Cast, June Whitfield, Nicholas Boulton

Recuperating from a flying accident, Jerry Burton needs to take a break somewhere peaceful. He and his sister Joanna rent a house in the little village of Lymstock, where they know no-one and hope to be able to relax. Their quiet life is shattered, however, by the arrival of an obscene anonymous letter accusing them of impropriety. Jerry refuses to take it seriously and throws it on the fire. But during a routine check-up with the local GP, Doctor Griffiths, he soon discovers that theirs is by no means the first unpleasant missive: a number of other village residents have been similarly harassed. Suspicion is rife, and matters are brought to a head by the suicide of one of the letters' recipients. With the whole village in a state of shock, the vicar's wife decides to invite down an old friend with considerable experience of the darker side of human nature. Can Miss Marple's arrival in Lymstock cast light on events? And can she discover the culprit before more deaths occur? One of Agatha Christie's own favourite novels is dramatised with a full cast including Clare Corbett and Nicholas Boulton.

Enjoyable Listen

This was a well done story. It left me wanting to hear of more. The dramatization was well done with no slip ups anywhere. The voices was well done as well. Just an overall joy to listen to.

I have always loved Agatha Christie

The performances on the BBC have always been entertaining and the dramatic re-enactments are especially so. If you take the time to sit and listen to Miss June Whitfield you will feel that Mrs. Marple comes jumping off the page. Thank you BBC!

A fun mystery

A fun, easy going and enjoyable mystery. Miss Marple is always a great character to listen to.

Good story

I enjoy the dramatized versions of Agatha Christie stories but not until I've read or watched the story first. I find them hard to follow. I like this one :)
