Mystery

A Pocket Full of Rye

by Agatha Christie · Miss Marple series

A series of deaths echoes the rhyme 'Sing a Song of Sixpence,' and Miss Marple must determine whether coincidence or malice is at work. Christie weaves nursery-rhyme structure into a family drama of inheritance and resentment. Order restored through careful observation and deduction.
