A Miss Marple Mystery

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: Richard E. Grant

Read by Richard E. Grant

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.

Great mystery

Over the years, I've watched movie and TV productions of Agatha Christie novels, most of which were great, but only recently started reading them and it's amazing how good they are! And I think this is one of the BEST! Add to that the great narration on this Audible recording and you have a wonderful listen! Highly recommended...

Absolutely perfect

Loved everything about it. Performance is great story is fascinating. But isn’t sure how close it is to the actual book, since Ms. Marple was only mentioned in the last 40 mins of reading.

Wonderful!

Wonderful narrator! Thoroughly enjoyed this book. I will look for more books narrated by Richard E. Grant. Really superb.

Love it

My favorite Agatha Christie book yet. Characters are colorful and the story moves at a good pace.

Christie Listening Perfection

Many people have reviewed this, so I considered just enjoying it without comment. However, the superb narration of The Moving Finger deserves a rave! When I saw Richard E. Grant's name, I anticipated a treat - and, sure enough, the reading is delightful.

This is a little different from most of the Miss Marple books. She only appears briefly, so other characters must carry the story. And they do, with the help of the wonderful actor/narrator. He never overdoes it - each person is distinct and colorful.

As for the book, can you figure out who did it? Sure, but, as usual with Agatha Christie and Miss Marple, the fun is in getting there - sorting out the red herrings and enjoying the characters. Old fashioned, yes, but really fun to experience in audio with superior narration.
