Book synopsis
The sudden, agonizing death of wealthy financier Rex Fortescue in his city office leaves Inspector Neele with a baffling mystery and a room full of suspects. Preliminary medical reports suggest the cause was taxine, a rare poison derived from yew trees, raising immediate questions about the residents of the victim's estate, Yewtree Lodge. When a handful of rye is discovered in the dead man's pocket, the investigation takes a sinister, symbolic turn. It falls to the observant Miss Marple to piece together the connection between a nursery rhyme and a family fueled by greed.
