At the end, I’ll tell you how and where you can read, listen, and watch a few adaptations of this 4th installment of the Miss Marple series! I have much to say about this book (it’s one of my favorite Christies), so we’ll start with a short overview, move on to some likes and dislikes, and other thoughts, and of course some favorite quotes. In fact, the variety of women we meet in The Moving Finger leads us to wonder if exploring female complexities of nature was a purposeful theme in this particular work of Christie’s.

Megan is that character’s name and she isn’t the only distinct female player in this particular novel. Such is the case with one particular character in Agatha Christie’s The Moving Finger.

Don’t you feel that some fictional characters are just too unreal to be … well, unreal? Have you ever met a character in some novel that is so quirky that you imagine the author had to have met or known someone with just those kinds of quirks in order to write a character like that?
