We see Miss Marple's impressive library. It is composed mainly of Pan and Penguin crime paperbacks (including duplicate editions of "Follow the Saint" by Leslie Charteris and Georgette Heyer's "The Foundling"; Edgar Wallace is another of her favourite authors) alongside crossword, quiz and limerick books, Noel Coward's "Pomp and Circumstance" and "Return to Peyton Place" by Grace Metalious. There are also copies of Agatha Christie's "Three Act Tragedy", "Appointment With Death" - and intriguingly, the Miss Marple short story anthology "The Thirteen Problems".
There is a reference to the fictional UK county of Rutherfordshire, an obvious tip-of-the-hat to the film's star.
Margaret Rutherford undertook a month of fencing practice for the film's denouement.
