About this listen

In Agatha Christie’s classic, A Pocket Full of Rye, the bizarre death of a financial tycoon has Miss Marple investigating a very odd case of crime by rhyme.

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 cereals.

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. . . .

Gotten specifically for the narrator...

Richard E Grant is such a delight!

He makes every character come to life and gives each one a different voice. Easy to distinguish who is speaking and very easy to follow. Not my favourite of the Ms Marple series as Moving Finger was just so interesting but absolutely worth a listen if you are even remotely interested.
