Summary
A classic Marple mystery, read by the inimitable Richard E. Grant.
Rex Fortescue, king of a financial empire, was sipping tea in his ‘counting house' when he suffered an agonising 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 parlour which confirmed Jane Marple's suspicion that here she was looking at a case of crime by rhyme…

Just wonderful.
Another brilliant murder mystery by the Queen of Crime herself, "A Pocket Full of Rye" is relaxing and cosy yet thrilling and fun. Richard E. Grant's flawless narration only makes the book even better. Most recommended!

Richard Grant is amazing!
This is well worth downloading. Even though we all know the plot from various versions of the film. I was pleasantly surprised how well written the story was and how little dear old lady actually featured in this story. Richard Grants reading is pure indulgence. I never knew how beautiful his voice is. I am going to download more of books read by him.

The final sentence still thrills after all these years
I have read all of Agatha Christie’s stories, me and half the people my age. But this has always been my favourite. As it’s a novel, Miss Marple doesn’t dominate it the way she does the short stories, but she is still there to gather the threads together at the end. And as I said in the title, the last sentence still brings a thrill.

Daily walks in the park
Whilst I don't think this is the best of Christie's Marple stories, it's so beautifully narrated by Grant and I found it hugely involving and finished it in no time. It has been my recent accompaniment for daily walks in the park just as the daffodils start to come out and that sense of winter coming to an end soon. Recommended.
