A Pocketful of Rye - 04/12 - Agatha Christie

[Songsmirth]

The wife is a spoiled brat and a child wanting her own way and not thinking. If she and her lover would be found out, it would be motive. She seems that simple that she doesn't get what that would mean.

I love these detectives. Brighten my day.

OMG SHE WEARS GUERLAIN SHALIMAR.

I do like this series, but the music is just dreadful. After a tension or the discovery of a murder they play a hooli-dooli melody as if it was a fairy tale.

@mslizziebennett

It is shocking what people get up to, isn't it?

[EnoAmbient4]

Fantastic little plot deflections into pagan rites, much more interesting than the later versions.

Very like the Fleet Street press too.

And that's NOT Miss Marple's house!

[Mosflow]

Really?

[Irmarambaran]

I hope this is in response to your question "Really?" but assuming it is, if you read Murder at the Vicarage, Miss Marple's house is surrounded by a large garden. In fact the drawing - AC's I imagine - shows it to be larger than the house itself. I'm imagining they could not find a house and garden of the sort and that's why Miss Marple is made to stop and examine the roses as she leaves the house. Other books also place her in the same setting.
