Pocket Full of Rye - Softcover
Rex Fortescue, king of a financial empire, was sipping tea in his 'counting house' when he suffered an agonising and sudden death.

About the Author:
From AudioFile:
Dame Agatha Christie (1890-1976) was a British crime writer best known for her detective novels and short stories. According to Guinness World Records, she is the best-selling novelist of all time, her novels having sold over four billion copies and having been translated into more than one hundred languages. The Agatha Award for best mystery and crime writers was named in her honor.
A Miss Marple mystery brings out the best in Rosalind Ayres. She can be male or female to such a degree that one forgets who's narrating. Yewtree Lodge is full of unsavory types, any one of whom could have murdered business tycoon Rex Fortescue. When two more guests are murdered, Miss Marple gets involved because one of the victims, Gladys Martin, was once her maid. Ayres is wonderful with all her voices--from Miss Ramsbottom, the elderly aunt upstairs, to Mary Dove, the overly composed housekeeper. Her best impersonation is Gladys, adenoidal and pathetic, the memorable voice of the innocent led astray by evil. B.H.B. © AudioFile 2007, Portland, Maine-- Copyright © AudioFile, Portland, Maine
