![]() I do love when murder mystery does a good job of making everyone suspect. I really did enjoy the different connection that Miss Marple has to this case (I don’t want to give to much away, but it involves a former employee and a notice in the paper), and the characters were twisty and fun. In A Pocket Full of Rye, a rather shady businessman is poisoned, and the clues quickly link themselves to the nursery rhyme “Sing a Song of Sixpence” ![]() As well as locking in Miss Marple’s character, you can tell in this one that Christie also recognized that “murder in a small town” plots were possible starting to get old, so she flips the script, and instead of Miss Marple stumbling on the murder, or being invited to solve it by either the police or the vicar’s wife, she actively seeks out this case after seeing it in the paper! ![]()
