What have I noticed?
1. Miss Marple is not a prominent character with respect to the amount of time she appears in the novels, however, she is crucial to the solution.
2. It is very likely that the spouse or another relative, i. e. one who will inherit money or otherwise make a fortune by the death of the victim. The spouse is the most likely culprit.
3. One of the major appeals of her novels is the English country idyll, which seems to be confirmed in spite of the murders taking place.
4. The vicarage plays an important role. The vicar and or his wife tend to be a bit excentric or are perceived as "odd".

I am half-way through the current book "The Moving Finger" and Miss Marple has just shown up! I am enjoying the read, even though I do have the movie and think I remember the end. I was wondering if there will be a book for next month? We need to get ordering it, or will it end with this one? I have enjoyed reading these books and hope it will continue!
the moving finger is still my favourite. i didn´t knew the book till now and am so happy caitlin choosed it. i love jerry and joanna and also the very slowly narrative pace of her novels.
I am almost done with the book.
I agree Miss Marple is not a big presence in this book.
I do love Jerry and Joanna though!
