Suspicion falls upon Fortescue's second and much younger wife, Adele after Neele learns of her affair with a local golf pro at a resort. Due to this discovery, Detective-Inspector Neele realizes that someone within the Foretescue household may have poisoned the financier during breakfast. But the police coroner discovers that Fortescue had died from taxine, an alkaloid poison obtained from the leaves or berries of the yew tree. At first suspicion falls upon the employees of Fortescue's firm. The story begins in the London office of financier Rex Fortescue, who suddenly dies after drinking his morning tea. Recently, I watched an earlier adaptation that aired on the BBC "MISS MARPLE" series in 1985.ĭirected by Guy Slater, this earlier adaptation starred Joan Hickson as the story's main sleuth, Miss Jane Marple. I have already seen the recent adaptation that aired on ITV's "AGATHA CHRISTIE'S MARPLE" series in 2009.
There have been two adaptation of Agatha Christie's 1953 novel, "A Pocket Full of Rye".
