Agatha Christie – A Pocket Full Of Rye – First UK Edition 1953
£175.00
A first edition, first printing of ‘A Pocket Full of Rye’ by Agatha Christie published by Collins in 1953. A very good book without inscriptions (evidence of erasure to the front endpaper). In a good unclipped wrapper with some light wear to the edges and a couple of small tears and a chip to the head of the spine and front panel and a closed tear to the rear panel – edge worn, but still a reasonably priced copy of a rare title
A Pocket Full of Rye by Agatha Christie is a classic Miss Marple mystery. The story revolves around the murder of wealthy businessman Rex Fortescue, who is found dead with rye in his pocket. As more family members fall victim, Miss Marple uncovers connections to a nursery rhyme. Set in a 1950’s English country house, Christie’s intricate plot, red herrings and sharp characterisation make for a compelling and clever whodunit.
