A Pocket Full of Rye - revision 747056967
[Ha! I think I finally understand how to use Talk]

The fact that Jennifer Fortescue was born Ruby MacKenzie is a key part of the climax to the book, revealed in its last two or three pages. Jennifer appears throughout the book, but key questions arise as soon as the Ruby character is introduced: Is she still alive? If so, could she have participated in the killing? Those questions remain right up to the climax.

I think it's a mistake to reveal this fact. - Ddrane (talk) 17:07, 3 November 2016 (UTC)


 * I am glad you found the Talk page for the article. There is much discussion on Wikipedia about spoilers. The view is that the articles are about the whole book, not a teaser for the book, or a movie for that matter. So the beginning and the end are equally open to discussion and explication. It is the credit of Christie's plots that she keeps the reader in suspense so long. But that does not stop it from going in the article. I think of it as being helpful to a reader who has finished the book, and maybe did not catch all the aliases for various characters. You can read the background on this in Spoiler. I know this is hard in mystery stories, but the same rules apply for all the novels that have articles in Wikipedia. Maybe someday you will see the logic of it?  --Prairieplant (talk) 20:48, 3 November 2016 (UTC)


 * You've convinced me. Explaining the reasoning behind book articles was very helpful. It makes perfect sense. In the past I have turned to Wikipedia to clear up a problem that I had in understanding a plot element, so I do understand.

(Regarding how to use Talk: I had to re-watch the Talk Help video to figure out how to reply to your response. Ha again.) - Ddrane (talk) 02:46, 4 November 2016 (UTC)
