In "A Pocket Full of Rye", a childhood nursery rhyme would seem to fit the pattern of the crime. But in the world penned by Agatha Christie, nothing is so simple. Even so, much of the story hinges on the bizzare clue, a pocket full of rye. Red herrings abound in this underrated classic. Wealthy tycoon Rex Fortescue dies suddenly after a very apparent poisoning. Suspicions immediately fall on his money grubbing wife until she turns up dead. Accompanied by the death of a maid, fingers are immediately pointed at members of the household present during the crimes. Yet no clear motive reveals itself. Enter the mysterious pocket full of rye and the rhyme of its origin. The clue leads to a dark hour in the Fortescue family history, yet no person in the household should still feel its sting. On the other hand, perhaps somebody in the house should not be in the house. As the story winds to its ends, I could not help but feel the first twist ending was the better solution. But knowing this is a work of fiction, the final conculsion was more than acceptable and logical.
