A Pocket Full of Rye audiobook

“o que dizer deste livro que mal li e já gostei pakas?” Na noite fria do dia 25 junho, fazendo aproximadamente 4° com sensação de -35° (caso você durma perto do pé de bel rodrigues). Eu, editheus, discípulo dos otários por Agatha Christie, termina de ler o livro Porção de CenteioExiste algo de muito belo na arte de ver família rica se brigando por dinheiro, e ainda mais, quando um livro inteiro se desenvolve em cima dessa trama. Toda vez que a futricaiagem começava, parecia que eu estava distante vendo um artista muito talentoso pintando um quadro, pois é fascinante a forma como a veia constrói as fofocas, é o puro suco do confronto verbal e do julgamento das reações dos personagens.Inúmeras vezes tive certeza de quem era o assassino em questão, mas bastava uma olhadela pro lado, ou um risinho fora de contexto, para que toda a minha teoria que desenvolvi por horas fosse por água abaixo, a forma como pequenos detalhes são inseridos em momentos inesperados ajudam a criar essa sensação de que ninguém é confiável.Reitero aqui diante deste amável público, que sou simpatizante do OAC - Otários por Agatha Christie, pois mais uma vez fui friamente enganado pela veia, tive muitos suspeitos em minha mente, até algumas vezes suspeitei do real assassino, porém é aquela coisa, por fora bela viola, por dentro pão bolorento.Ao invés de uma porção de centeio, tive uma porção de diálogos muito bem construídos e um drama policial intrigante, logo deixo minha avaliação com uma nota de 4.3 edistrelas obrigado veia lendária por entregar mais uma história pitoresca.Para mais resenhas, me siga no kwai #edi812-#*%$ e também no meu vine @vouditheus.

dessa vez, nem tão palhaça assim. (mas ainda bem palhaça)

A rich dude chokes on his tea, and in his pocket the fuzz find...RYE.Nefarious, I say!Or maybe not.For some reason, Pocket Full of Rye seemed like a more complex story than what you normally get from one of Agatha's murder mysteries.

Sing a song of sixpence,A pocket full of rye.Four and twenty blackbirds,Baked in a pie.When the pie was openedThe birds began to sing;Wasn't that a dainty dish,To set before the king.The king was in his counting house,Counting out his money;The queen was in the parlour,Eating bread and honey.The maid was in the garden,Hanging out the clothes,When down came a blackbirdAnd pecked off her nose.The title and parts of the plot of the novel refer to the nursery rhyme quoted above. Originally I gave this book 3 stars, but upon re-reading I decided it deserves a 4th. :)The only problem I have with the book is that almost all characters are unlikeable. Apart from Miss Marple, Inspector Neele and Pat Fortescue (view spoiler)[and look what kind of fate AC dealt her - very sad. (hide spoiler)] , the rest are a nasty, unsympathetic bunch. (OK, maybe Elaine Fortescue is just simply pathetic, but still unlikeable.) They are very well described: precisely and concisely and you can imagine any of them doing the killing all right.And hats off to Agatha Christie's brilliancy, for queerly enough, she manages what no others (according to my limited knowledge) can, namely, making the first victim's dying and the subsequent pathological consultation the funniest part of the book. This she does, not with malice or morbidity, but with an irresistible, gentle irony, concentrating on the various reactions of the other people around: a bunch of secretaries and typists at a loss what to do in time of crisis and the professional satisfaction the pathologist takes in the "unusual" method of poisoning.Miss Marple does her usual stuff to satisfaction: knitting baby-things, drawing references to characters of her native village St. Mary Mead & eventually finding the murderer.

Loved it! I watched the TV series version years ago but hadn't read A Pocket Full of Rye by Agatha Christie. I'm working my way through all the Miss Marple books over the next few months. Such a great way to spend a few hours. To have lived in that time, briefly, just to see the different aspects of life, would be wonderful. I love her insights on people. Miss Marple only appears in the latter half, and only for a few scenes, but she's incredibly gifted. Classic mystery. Wealthy patriarch poisoned. Was it the new younger wife? A greedy child? A colleague? Then someone else dies. And the staff at the country estate begin to look guilty. Except there's a nursery rhyme being followed. How will it all come together? Brilliantly. Can't wait to get to the next one in the coming days.

Same old good Agatha Christie book. Easy read and impossible to be put down. I really missed reading the Agatha Christie books :D

Christie's various attempts to incorporate Nursery Rhymes into her plots has a varied degree of success.It actually seems quite fitting for a Miss Marple story that it works rather well.Both the childish rhyme and the elderly spinster appearances are always deceiving!It's of course Jane herself that connects the three murders to the song:As London businessman Rex Fortescue dies in his office drinking tea.(The king was in his counting house, Counting out his money.)His wife then follows the same fate...(The queen was in the the parlour,Eating bread and honey.)Whilst housemaid Gladys Martin is found strangled in the yard with a clothespin put on her nose.(The maid was in the gardenHanging out the clothesWhen down came a blackbirdAnd pecked off her nose.)It certainly perplexed both Inspector Neele and the reader.Once Miss Marple was aware of her former trainee maid's demise, she was desperate to solve the mystery.When Miss Marple is on the case you know things are serious.Whilst our series main character only nominally appears in the story, she makes such an impact - in truth the family at the centre of this tale are pretty hard to like, though the enjoyment here is seeing how the rhyme seems to fit so perfectly to the case.Yet again Christie certainly fooled me with another brilliant reveal.

A most interesting fact about my interpretation of detective books is that I'm not able to appreciate and rate with the consensus how good the outcome of an investigation is. Many people swear by the cleverness of the murderer's alibi. Not me; it's not a deliberate choice, I simply can't appreciate the subtlety of a water tight crime. The way I see it, is that if the journey is good, and if there are startling revelations, and if I can put a face to a well depicted character, then the said book would have fulfilled its purpose of providing me with a roller coaster ride. A Pocket Full of Rye does more than tick all the boxes.I did notice two jarring notes in this very entertaining book. First time ever, has Miss Marple been described as tall. I never imagined her as beyond 5 feet 10 inches, tops. Almost all female characters are regularly said to be tall. One impossible explanation that occurred to me was that the author somehow had the word ringing in her brain, and wrote the entire book in one sitting. The more plausible reason was that it was a reference to something from her life. She deliberately planted the word tall throughout her book. Anyway, I'll never imagine Miss Marple as taller than average, because she was old and she must have shrunk somewhat. Elementary, my dear.The second thing concerned the last sentence in the book: "...successfully reconstructed an extinct animal from a fragment of jawbone and a couple of teeth." That was a haphazard phrase thrown in making the last line look very abrupt. Moving on, I'd like to say that this Inspector Neele person is a super Lestrade. He is allowed one generous, clever deduction, and that was the blackmail of Jennifer Fortescue by Mary Dove. I also thought it was too much that the author made of Mary an accomplice to thieves. Too much going on, I would have liked Mary Dove to remain impassive to the end. Perhaps the author, having pitted Neele's wits against Mary's impassiveness, just had to make the Inspector put one over Mary Dove.Despite these middling things, I had great fun reading this mystery. This book is greater than the sum of its parts. The letter and photo scene near the end provided a vital clue but was also poignant. It was a little piteous to see tears in Miss Marple eyes.
