Summary "The Moving Finger" by Natalie Sumner Lincoln is a mystery novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around tragic events at the Porter homestead, where a guest, Bruce Brainard, is found dead under mysterious circumstances. The main characters introduced are Vera Deane, the nurse attending to Craig Porter, and Hugh Wyndham, who becomes involved in the unfolding drama. The book sets the stage for a suspenseful exploration of intrigue, relationships, and the investigation into Brainard's death. At the start of the novel, Vera Deane is introduced as a dedicated nurse attending to patients at the Porter residence. After an illness during dinner, Brainard has been brought to the house, only to be discovered later with a tragic injury to his throat. The narrative unfolds through various characters—the nurse, the grieving family, and the coroner—each contributing to the chilling atmosphere as they confront the ramifications of Brainard's death. Rising tensions hint at deeper secrets and possible motives, creating an engaging setup for the mystery that is sure to captivate readers drawn to tales of suspense and conflicting loyalties.
