  • "Rex Fortescue was taken suddenly ill in his city office and just over an hour later was dead. Rex, of course, means king. He's the equivalent of a counting house. The queen in the library-parlour has left her bread and honey. And the murderer did not put the clothes peg on Gladys' nose. But where and why the blackbirds? There are baffling similarities between the rhyme and the action, and it takes all Miss Marple's ingenuity to find them."@en

  • "Wealthy businessman Rex Fortescue is found dead with rye grain in his pocket. His death is followed in quick succession by a woman dying while eating bread and honey, and a maid in her garden. Inspector Neele, in charge of investigating the spate of murders, consults with Miss Marple, who has an interesting and surprising theory to offer. She senses the murderer is dispatching his victims on the basis of the children's nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence." The similarities are numerous--not least the fact that Rex means "king", and as a financier, he could be said to have been in his counting house when he died. Soon the blackbirds of the rhyme put in an appearance, not to mention a whole shoal of red herrings. What secrets are lurking at the heart of the Fortescue family? Miss Marple finds herself enmeshed in one of the strangest cases of her life."@en
