Medication Tampering | |
| Marple: Twelve New Stories / int_30725d31 | comment |
Medication Tampering: In "The Murdering Sort", Josiah Westover is poisoned by the 'heart pills' he's taking as part of his Secret Test of Character scheme. Subverted in that the pills he's taking are just sugar, not medication, but the tampering is still deadly. | |

Taking the Heat: In "The Unravelling", Mr and Mrs Weaver are suspects in the murder of Martin the pigman. Neither is guilty, but both know that their son is the killer, so they decide to let the police focus on them instead, hoping that there's insufficient evidence for a conviction. | |

Robbing the Dead | |
| Marple: Twelve New Stories / int_6480c255 | comment |
Robbing the Dead: In "The Open Mind", Cuthbert Cayling is killed so that the killer can access the Bedlington-Bomarsand family tomb when he's interred. It initially seems that they're stealing 17th century letters regarding Oliver Cromwell, buried with one of the bodies. The final twist is that they're actually planting high quality forgeries, faked evidence to be discovered later as part of a larger plan. | |

Self-Made Orphan | |
| Marple: Twelve New Stories / int_780a078e | comment |
Self-Made Orphan: In "The Unravelling", Eric Weaver murders Martin the pigman, after he argues with Weaver's father. Martin is Eric's biological father, and Miss Marple thinks Eric guessed this and assumed Martin had appeared to wreck the Weavers' marriage. What Eric didn't know was that "Martin" was actually the real Mr Weaver, as the man who returned after World War II was an imposter. | |

Ret-Canon | |
| Marple: Twelve New Stories / int_c6898a73 | comment |
Ret-Canon: The poacher Archer had no first name given in Agatha Christie's novel The Murder at the Vicarage, but was named Bill in the BBC adaptation. In "The Second Murder at the Vicarage", he's now named as Bill. | |

Everybody Lives | |
| Marple: Twelve New Stories / int_d1b4f0ef | comment |
Everybody Lives: Miss Marple's stories tend to be Always Murder, but in "Miss Marple Takes Manhattan", nobody's killed and what seems to be an attempted murder is just an attempt to sabotage a theatre production, with nobody seriously hurt. Miss Marple herself notes how unusual that outcome is at the end of the story. | |
