10. The Moving Finger

By Agatha Christie (240 pp, ebook)

I have always wanted to read Christie and I bought a trio of Miss Marple in a sale and I think the trio was not Christie's best works. This is the third one and the weakest of the three. It's about a man who suffers an accident and goes to this little village to recover accompanied by his sister. Someone is sending out secret accusatory letters that lead to someone taking her own life. Miss Marple barely shows up except at the very end to help them pull the threads together. The characters are fun but the story has some head-scratching elements.
