Book • 1953
The story begins when Rex Fortescue, a wealthy businessman, dies suddenly after drinking his morning coffee.

Shortly thereafter, his wife is found dead, followed by a housemaid.

The murders seem to be linked to the nursery rhyme "Sing a Song of Sixpence.

" Miss Marple, who had trained the murdered housemaid, Gladys, feels a personal responsibility to investigate.

She delves into the Fortescue family's secrets, uncovering hidden resentments, financial motives, and past indiscretions.

As Miss Marple pieces together the clues, she exposes a clever and ruthless killer who is using the nursery rhyme as a macabre guide for their crimes.
