Pocket Full Of Rye

Triple tragedy at yew tree lodge.

A model of complex skull duggery.

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 cereal. 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….

“Sing a song of sixpence, a pocket full of rye,

………….

…………

……….

………

"The king was in his counting house, counting out his money

The queen was in the parlor eating bread and honey

The maid was in the garden hanging out the clothes,

When there came a little dickey bird and nipped off her nose..."

the above lines have a gr8 significance in the story till the last breath

Miss Marple started investigating the case by chit chatting. I like that...

I didnt expect her to be so old when i first read the book..she knows how to deal with people..
