Rex Fortescue dies of poison at his City office, a handful of rye discovered in his jacket pocket. When first his young wife and then a housemaid follow him to the grave, the deaths seem to echo the old nursery rhyme ‘Sing a Song of Sixpence’ — and it is Miss Marple, who had known the murdered maid, who unpicks the deadly logic behind the rhyme.
