Meet the Author

Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie
Agatha Christie is nearly synonymous with upper-class British mysteries, for good reason. She set the standard for the genre in over 60 novels and dozens of short stories, also creating two classic detectives: the fastidious Belgian, Hercule Poirot, and English spinster Jane Marple. No one could match Christie's knack for weaving clues into her stories, then turning the whole thing inside out -- shocking her readers every time.

Biography

Agatha Christie is the world's best-known mystery writer. Her books have sold over a billion copies in the English language, and another billion in 44 foreign languages. She is the most widely published author of all time in any language, outsold only by the Bible and Shakespeare. Her writing career spanned more than half a century, during which she wrote 79 novels and a short story collection, as well as 14 plays, one of which, The Mousetrap, is the longest running play in history. Two of the characters she created, the brilliant Belgian detective Hercule Poirot and the irrepressible and relentless Miss Marple, went on to become world famous detectives. Both have been widely dramatized in feature films and made-for-TV movies. Agatha Christie died in 1976.

    Brilliant!

    I loved this story. Agatha, you did it again! This book will keep you guessing and questioning every character. Something that a good mystery should do, should it not? I read this book in about 2 1/2 days, so I would say that it is a short read. I love how Miss. Marple always puts the puzzle together! Not even blackbirds in a pie can get her...

    Wow Great book!!!

    When I started to read this book I thought that it wasn't going to be all that good, but as I kept reading it I liked it more and more. I never would if though that the 'killer' was actually the killer. I really didn't know what to think since all of the clues led to someone else. I loved it!

    hmm...

    at first, i thought this book was annoying. but, after reading it, i found out that it's really interesting on who the killer was. i was really dumb founded in the end. i can't believe the killer was the killer! it turned me off a little. overall, great book.

    A Pocket Full of Rye (Miss Marple Series)

    This book really spoke to me because what happened in this book is what happens in real life everyday. This book was wonderful to read and enjoy while it lasted. I hope you read this book someday because the phrases really jumped out at me!

    So far, so good...

    So far I am enjoying 'A Pocket Full of Rye.' Just when you suspect someone as the killer, that person dies. I can't wait to find out the killer at the end!!
