A Pocket Full of Rye

A Miss Marple Mystery

By: Agatha Christie

Narrated by: Richard E. Grant

In Agatha Christie’s classic, A Pocket Full of Rye, the bizarre death of a financial tycoon has Miss Marple investigating a very odd case of crime by rhyme.

Rex Fortescue, king of a financial empire, was sipping tea in his “counting house” when he suffered an agonizing and sudden death. On later inspection, the pockets of the deceased were found to contain traces of cereals.

Yet, it was the incident in the parlor which confirmed Miss Marple’s suspicion that here she was looking at a case of crime by rhyme. . . .

Always enjoy miss marple

I like the narrator he has good change of characters with his lives . Of
Course agatha Christie is the best .

Agatha Christie's finest!

Excellent plot with many twists and turns. This is one time that I couldn't identify the murderer until the very end. Enjoy!

delightful and stands passing of time

I am so glad I started picking up the Miss Marple books. This has been my favorite so far and I am reading them in order.

Lots of Village to Choose From

This is one of my very favorite Miss Marple books. She is so calm, intense, sweet and hard. She's able to see when the innocent are used. And when the guilty appear worthy. I love the narrator, easy to listen to.

way better narrator than Emilia Fox

I wish the whole series was narrated by the narrator of this book. He is much better than Emilia Fox, though she is not terrible.
