Book Synopsis The Moving Finger by : Agatha Christie
Download or read book The Moving Finger written by Agatha Christie and published by . This book was released on 1994 with total page 217 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lymstock was a town with more that its share of shameful secrets – a town where even a sudden outbreak of anonymous hate-mail caused only a minor stir. But all of that changed when one of the recipients, Mrs Symmington, committed suicide. Her final note said 'I can't go on'. Only Miss Marple questioned the coroner's verdict of suicide. Was this the work of a poison-pen? Or of a poisoner? Agatha Christie was born in Torquay in 1890 and became, quite simply, the best-selling novelist in history. She wrote 79 crime mysteries and collections, and saw her work translated into more languages than Shakespeare. Her enduring success, enhanced by many film and TV adaptations, is a tribute to the timeless appeal of her characters and the unequalled ingenuity of her plots. "Beyond all doubt the puzzle in 'The Moving Finger' is fit for experts."THE TIMES
Book Synopsis The Moving Finger by : Edith Wharton
Download or read book The Moving Finger written by Edith Wharton and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-03-01 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Moving Finger is a short story by Edith Wharton. Edith Wharton ( born Edith Newbold Jones; January 24, 1862 - August 11, 1937) was a Pulitzer Prize-winning American novelist, short story writer, and designer. She was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1927, 1928 and 1930. Wharton combined her insider's view of America's privileged classes with a brilliant, natural wit to write humorous, incisive novels and short stories of social and psychological insight. She was well acquainted with many of her era's other literary and public figures, including Theodore Roosevelt. Wharton was born to George Frederic Jones and Lucretia Stevens Rhinelander in New York City. She had two brothers, Frederic Rhinelander and Henry Edward. The saying "Keeping up with the Joneses" is said to refer to her father's family. She was also related to the Rensselaer family, the most prestigious of the old patroon families. She had a lifelong friendship with her Rhinelander niece, landscape architect Beatrix Farrand of Reef Point in Bar Harbor, Maine. In 1885, at 23, she married Edward (Teddy) Robbins Wharton, who was 12 years older. From a well-established Philadelphia family, he was a sportsman and gentleman of the same social class and shared her love of travel. From the late 1880s until 1902, he suffered acute depression, and the couple ceased their extensive travel. At that time his depression manifested as a more serious disorder, after which they lived almost exclusively at The Mount, their estate designed by Edith Wharton. In 1908 her husband's mental state was determined to be incurable. She divorced him in 1913. Around the same time, Edith was overcome with the harsh criticisms leveled by the naturalist writers. Later in 1908 she began an affair with Morton Fullerton, a journalist for The Times, in whom she found an intellectual partner. In addition to novels, Wharton wrote at least 85 short stories. She was also a garden designer, interior designer, and taste-maker of her time. She wrote several design books, including her first published work, The Decoration of Houses of 1897, co-authored by Ogden Codman. Another is the generously illustrated Italian Villas and Their Gardens of 1904.

Download or read book The Moving Finger written by Cortland Fitzsimmons and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2019-11-01 with total page 343 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Moving Finger, first published in 1937, features private detective Ethel Thomas as she searches for a set of private diaries, which, if made public, would scandalize New York’s high society. From the publisher: “Scandal, which threatens to blast New York society wide open, is the background for a particularly interesting series of crimes, and Miss Ethel Thomas, who won the hearts of mystery lovers in The Whispering Window is back again in The Moving Finger. From the moment it is known that young Terry Lassimon has the Van Wyck diaries, his life is in danger. Ethel’s entrance comes when Terry barely escapes death on her doorstep. Her problem is (a) to protect Terry from death, and (b) to prevent publication of the revealing diaries which would bring disaster and ruin to a group of prominent people. She plunges into the baffling mystery and series of macabre crimes which seem insoluble. She is almost instantly involved in strange, unheard of dangers as she learns, little by little, the secrets of terrible criminals who operate under the security of established social position.” Cortland Fitzsimmons (1893-1949) wrote mysteries, often featuring a sports-theme, some of which were made into movies. He also worked as a screenwriter in Hollywood.
