A Pocket Full of Rye (Dramatized)

De: Agatha Christie

Narrado por: June Whitfield

A BBC Radio 4 full-cast dramatisation starring June Whitfield as Miss Marple, the deceptively mild spinster sleuth.

Wealthy businessman Rex Fortescue is found dead with rye grain in his pocket. His death is followed in quick succession by a woman dying while eating bread and honey, and a maid in her garden.

Inspector Neele, in charge of investigating the spate of murders, consults with Miss Marple, who has an interesting and surprising theory to offer. She senses the murderer is dispatching his victims on the basis of the children's nursery rhyme 'Sing a Song of Sixpence'.

A pocket full of Rye

excellent performance!! well adapted for listening! would purchase another such full cast audio book again. in fact will so today. Thank you!

Well Done

This was an enjoyable book. There is a reason Agatha Christie's books have lasted so long. The dramatization was well done too.

Great BBC production

I love these BBC radio productions. The sound effects and multi person cast really bring the story to life. June Whitfield does a fabulous job as Miss Marple.

The Queen of Crime always makes murder enjoyable

Ever since my first introduction to The Queen of Crime, I've loved reading her books. I got this book as a way to read one of my favorite Miss Marple stories again. I loved the dramatized version as I felt I were there! I will always recommend Agatha Christie as an author and now I will recommend any BBC Radio dramatized production.

June Whitfield is the Best Miss Marple

I love June Whitfield’s portrayal of Miss Marple. Her voice is far-and-away the best version of the character out of any Marple audiobooks I have listened to, and it fits perfectly with the way I’ve always imagined Miss Marple.
