The Moving Finger by Agatha Christie
4.0
This is a fun and quick read, a keen analysis of a small town England and a great Agatha story. I wasn't aware it was a Miss Marple because she doesn't get to appear up until the third part of the book when all the characters are so messed up the Reverend's wife needs to call for an expert and she chooses Miss Marple to untagle it all. And she does, all right.
I loved the dynamic of the characters and even though some things I guessed, others I was at total loss. Agatha is so good at pointing fingers at everyone and giving them motives and at the same time telling you they couldn't be.
In this case, after a whole town recieves anonymous letters a woman kills herself after one false accusation. Everyone thinks it's suicide but then a maid is found dead. And she had seen something she wanted to tell another maid...
