- Synopsis:
- In this sinister tale, set in the 1940's, Miss Marple (Joan Hickson) sets about unravelling the mysterious murder of city financier Rex Fortescue (Timothy West). When the cause of death is identified as poisoning, suspicion falls on the occupants of the family home, Yew Tree Lodge. But the police are baffled because the only clue to the heartless murder is a handful of rye in the dead man's pocket. However, when another murder shortens the list of suspects, the connection with the nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence" becomes all too clear to Miss Marple! So the unlikely sleuth sets off for Yew Tree Lodge...
