The Moving Finger
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1953.
The placid village of Lymstock seems the perfect place for Jerry Burton to recuperate from his accident under the care of his sister, Joanna. But soon a series of vicious poison-pen letters destroys the village's quiet charm, eventually causing one recipient to commit suicide. The vicar, the doctor, the servants—all are on the verge of accusing one another when help arrives from an unexpected quarter. The vicar's houseguest happens to be none other than Jane Marple.
Condition grading: Good Minus. Crease to bottom right corner of front cover. Minor wear to slightly grubby spine. Foxing stain to top half of front cover. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
