Trade paperback edition in very good condition. Some cover wear. Miss Marple Series #6.
“‘Oh yes,’ said Miss Marple fervently. ‘I always believe the worst. What is so sad is that one is usually justified in doing so.’”
A handful of grain is found in the pocket of a murdered businessman!
Let us explain. Rex Fortescue, king of a financial empire, was sipping tea in his ‘counting house’ office when he suffered a sudden and agonizing death. On later inspection, the pockets of the deceased were found to contain rye grain. What is that all about? It was a second incident, this time in the parlor at his home, which confirmed Jane Marple’s suspicion that here she was looking at a case of crime by rhyme!
