When wealthy businessman Rex Fortescue drops dead in his office, poisoned under baffling circumstances, the case seems bizarre enough. But then investigators find grains of cereal in his pockets—echoing an eerie nursery rhyme. And when more bodies turn up, each death mimicking the sinister lyrics of “Sing a Song of Sixpence,” the police are left grasping at straws.
Enter Miss Marple, the seemingly sweet old lady with a mind sharper than any detective’s. She alone recognizes the deadly logic behind the rhyme. With a keen eye for human nature and a knack for unraveling secrets, she must piece together the truth before the killer strikes again.
A clever, chilling classic from Agatha Christie—can Miss Marple solve the case before the final verse is sung?
