Reviewed by Saifunnissa Hassam for Readers’ Favorite – 5-star. R. Kristi’s novella, The Moving Finger Moves On, is an intriguing crime mystery inspired by Agatha Christie’s short story, The Moving Finger. The story is set in the English village of Lymstock. Jerry Burton and his fiancée Megan are in the process of settling down in the village. They soon discover that the seemingly tranquil village has recently been upended by the unexpected and tragic death of Mrs. Symmington, the solicitor’s wife. Compounding the tragedy is the sinister discovery that Mrs. Symmington was poisoned. Amid the turmoil and gossip, the eccentric villager Mr. Pye invites Jerry and Megan to his home to celebrate their engagement. Other villagers are also present. The next morning, Mr. Pye is found dead in his home. He has been murdered!

This book is the art-companion companion to the novel The Black Inked Pearl. It is also a colouring book with images for YOU to colour in using YOUR imagination. On some pages it builds on the traditional form of colouring - inside firm lines - on others it calls, more daringly, on the modern technology of blurred and rubbed colouring,


And there is more - think COLOUR SECRETS: What are these colours that we see and try to copy? How are they made? How did they start and what (if anything) do they mean? Are colours perhaps only a trick of the light or of the way our eyes see, not really of any independent existence?
