A Pocket Full of Rye stars Miss Marple as she tries to solve the seemingly random murder of businessman Rex Fortescue.
Now, Miss Marple mysteries haven’t been my favorite of Agatha Christie’s, but I will say that this one really was interesting and the mystery was solved in a way that didn’t leave me scratching my head.
Rex Fortescue is a very wealthy businessman who dies at his desk after drinking his morning brew. When detectives start asking questions of the staff and Mr. Fortescue family, they come to the conclusion that not all is as it seems.
Miss Marple, in her innocent way, stumbles on to the scene and helps the local detectives answer all their lingering questions, including why Mr. Fortescue has rye grain in his pocket. Could it really be as simple as following an old nursery rhyme?
If you are on the fence about Miss Marple mysteries, like I have been, then try A Pocket Full of Rye! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!
