A Pocket Full of Rye
Agatha Christie
The shocking thing about Rex Fortescue’s murder was that
the contemptible tycoon wasn’t knocked off sooner. But
when two less-deserving souls fall victim to the killer,
Miss Jane Marple is engaged to detect. The only link
appears to be buried in a not-so-innocent verse. So what’s
the rhyme and reason behind the playful hint? The answer
draws the shrewd sleuth into the heart of family secret –
and an increasingly menacing game that’s anything but
child’s play.
