A handful of grain is found in the pocket of a murdered businessman! Rex Fortescue, king of a financial empire, was sipping tea in his 'counting house' when he suffered an agonising and sudden death. On later inspection, the pockets of the deceased were found to contain traces of cereals.

Article About Books A Pocket Full of Rye (Miss Marple #7)

As anybody who reads the Miss Marple books knows, she often trains young housemaids, so they can go into service. When Miss Marple reads that one of the young maids she trained, Gladys Martin, has been found strangled - a clothes peg left on her nose - in the garden of the house where she worked, she sets off at once to see who did such a wicked thing. Murder had already visited the family, as the head of the household, Mr Rex Fortecue, was poisoned at work and, in his pocket, was a handful of

Another great read.

A most interesting fact about my interpretation of detective books is that I'm not able to appreciate and rate with the consensus how good the outcome of an investigation is. Many people swear by the cleverness of the murderer's alibi. Not me; it's not a deliberate choice, I simply can't appreciate the subtlety of a water tight crime. The way I see it, is that if the journey is good, and if there are startling revelations, and if I can put a face to a well depicted character, then the said book

A rich dude chokes on his tea, and in his pocket the fuzz find...RYE.Nefarious, I say!Or maybe not.For some reason, Pocket Full of Rye seemed like a more complex story than what you normally get from one of Agatha's murder mysteries. <--I have no evidence for that statement, it's just this feeling I got while I was reading it.I mean, there are always red herrings in Christie's books. Sometimes even blue and yellow herrings.All those delicious, delicious herrings...But there were a lot of

Without a doubt this has been one of my favourite books in the Miss Marple challenge. It is not a novel I remembered reading and so it was wonderful to experience for the first time (maybe ?)As with a lot of the novels, Miss M is in it only fleetingly, but each appearance is worth waiting for in terms of insight and revelation, and yes I still see Joan Hickson every time.

Tidy little Agatha Christie, filled with everything you'd expect. A murder, then another, then...A man is found dead in his office, a handful of rye in his pocket. What can it MEAN? Then another weird death, followed by a third. No spoilers here but it's a tidy read if you like a book in which an inspector - and a little old lady named Jane Marple - slowly sort through clues, dead ends and red herrings galore. Just when you think you, dear reader, have it all 'figured out,' well maybe you

Same old good Agatha Christie book. Easy read and impossible to be put down. I really missed reading the Agatha Christie books :D
