This was my first exposure to Miss Marple in print, having only known her in the form of Margaret Rutherford on screen. A Pocket Full of Rye, which I always want to write as A Pocketful of Rye, which apparently is wrong. So here we are, having finished the first of my Agatha Christie re-reads. And just so that you don’t have to worry – I won’t reveal the identity of the murderer!

A goldmine, a prodigal son, a nursery rhyme, a vengeful family and an unseen boyfriend all play a part.

In which Miss Marple solves the murders of a rather hectoring boss and father, and other members of his family and domestic household.
