A series of murders cleverly camouflaged within a nursery rhyme, sees Miss Marple tackling the mystery in Agatha Christie's novel, inspired by the rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence." The intriguing plot begins with the grim discovery of a few grains in the pocket of the slain businessman, Rex Fortescue. Fortescue, the powerful leader of a vast financial empire, met his untimely and excruciating demise while enjoying tea in his counting house. Subsequent investigation revealed cereal remnants in his pockets, yet it was an event in the drawing room that reinforced Jane Marple's suspicion of a crime orchestrated according to the nursery rhyme.
