Praise for A Pocket Full of Rye: A Miss Marple Mystery…

“Agatha Christie was the absolute master of misdirection. No matter how logical we think we’re being when we read her, she always manages to send us swimming after her red herrings while ignoring that huge whale in the corner of the tank.”
-Margaret Maron, award-winning author of the Deborah Knott Mysteries

“This is the best of the novels starring Christie’s Miss Marple.”
-New York Times

“A model of complex skulduggery.”
-New Yorker

“Ingenious.”
-Times Literary Supplement (London)
