The Moving Finger by Agatha Christie
This is billed as a Miss Marple mystery but she doesn’t show up until 3/4 of the way through the book and then is only an incidental character who says “Oh dear” a lot. The dust cover claims this was viewed by Christie as one of her best works. While it’s a good story, I don’t really agree with that.
Brother and Sister Jerry and Joanna Burton move to a rustic, gossipy little town terrorized by strange, anonymous letters. Eventually the viciousness of one of the letters leads to the suicide of one of the town’s residents.
Or does it?
This would have been a lot better had I not read The ABC Murders
