One of the aspects about Christie's 1942 novel that I found so unremarkable was the actual murder that took place. And it took a second death - the obvious murder of the Symmingtons' maid - for the officials to realize she had been right about the first murder. Angela Symmington, the wife of local solicitor Edward Symmington, is found dead after receiving a letter. However, not long after Miss Marple's arrival at Lymstock, the poison pen letters take a murderous twist. Maude Calthrop, summons her old friend, Miss Jane Marple, to help the police find the letters' writer. Unbeknownst to the Bartons and other citizens of Lymstock, the vicar's wife, Mrs. After settling in and meeting their neighbors, the two siblings become the latest victims of a series of anonymous poison pen letters. A brother and sister from London named Gerry and Joanna Burton purchase a house in the small, quiet town of Lymstock in order for Jerry to fully recover from injuries received in a plane crash. "THE MOVING FINGER" is basically a murder mystery set in a small English town. Before I express my opinion of it, I might as well reveal its plot. In the end, I found myself viewing the 1985 television movie, due to it being part of a box set of Jane Marple movies. When I first learned about the 1985 adaptation of the film, I did not bother to get my hands on a video or DVD copy. In fact, I have difficulty in viewing it as mediocre. I do not regard it as one of the author's more remarkable works.

I am not a fan of Agatha Christie's 1942 novel, "The Moving Finger". I might as well put my cards on the table.
