    The Moving Finger: An detective story that brings mystery and revelation by occult means

    Written by Rose Champion de Crespigny

    Narrated by Elliot Fitzpatrick and Ghizela Rowe

    About this audiobook

    Annie Rose Charlotte Key was born on 9th November 1859 in Kensington, London.

    With a privileged background—her father was an admiral, her mother a Lady, Rose began her creative life as a painter before a stab at writing local history settled her into popular fiction.

    Her works were solidly written and often described as having a ‘certain graceful facility’.

    Her marriage to Philip Augustus Champion de Crespigny in 1878 resulted in a family of 4 children and a name of status.

    Rose was a leading member of the Ridley Art Club, the Lyceum Club in Piccadilly, and of the British College of Psychic Science. Victorian society had a particular fascination with spiritualism and in ‘The Moving Finger’ Rose uses the theme as a background to introduce her popular occult detective Norton Vyse into her series of short stories.

    Rose Champion de Crespigny died on 10th February 1935. She was 75.
