Evaluation Based On Books A Pocket Full of Rye (Miss Marple #7)

There's something that feels very quintessentially Christie about this one - the family dynamics, the pacing, the types of clues, the character types. All of it plays to her strengths... so much so, I'll pardon her fondness for overly contrived framing devices in the form of nursery rhymes :)

Another great read.

Loved this - brilliantly surprising ending, and one of those ideal Christie solutions where everything turns on its head at the end and all the same facts suddenly look completely different. I would have given it four stars, except that Miss Marple didn't really (as far as I can see) have enough clues to lead her to the truth. She seemed to have magicked the truth out of nowhere. I know she's a genius about human nature, but I'd have liked a couple of more concrete clues to set her on the right

Its been a long time since Ive read any Agatha Christie and its easy to let ones brain flow back into her story telling style. Her books do have a comforting familiarity. Dry humor to set the scene; the murder; the investigation; more dead bodies; the red herrings; the revealing. No heavy lifting required. Like a pleasant spring day. This one is a Miss Marple and a decent read. It also provides an unexpected and emotional denouement.Heres the kicker for me: I find it very quaint that the British

Book 12 for the Miss Marple Challenge. When I picked up my copy of this one, I found the first couple of pages has fallen outso I used for the first time, the preview feature on GR to read the missing bitso very glad this was available.The wealthy Rex Fortescue, a shrewd but unscrupulous man, is poisoned, falling ill just after having tea in his office, his pocket full of rye. While Mr Fortescues name and circumstances of his death merely hinted at the rhyme Sing a Song od Sixpence, before long

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
