Fred (A Pocket Full of Rye)

In the novel A Pocket Full of Rye, Fred works at the fishmonger in St. Mary Mead. He had a pleasant word for all the girls, but of course he didn't mean anything by it. That upset Gladys Martin quite a lot.

See also Fred Tyler who works at the fishmonger in A Murder is Announced. In The Murder at the Vicarage, there is another Fred Jackson who works at the fishmonger and who goes around chatting with all the maids. The Fred of this article could be one of these two.
