A Pocketful of Rye

Few tears flow when bossy businessman Rex Fortescue is poisoned. But when his wife and maid are murdered too, Miss Marple is determined to see the killer punished.

The Home Counties golf and commuter belt, in the late 1940s. When Rex Fortescue dies suddenly in his city office, Inspector Neele is called in to investigate. His only clue is a handful of rye in the dead man's pocket. When the poison which killed Rex is identified as deriving from yew, it is on the household and staff at Yew Tree Lodge that suspicion falls.
