A Pocket Full of Rye

Like several of Christie's novels (e.g., Hickory Dickory Dock, One, Two, Buckle My Shoe) the title and substantial parts of the plot reference a nursery rhyme, in this case Sing a Song of Sixpence.

The novel was adapted for the fourth series of the British television series Marple broadcast on ITV on 6 September 2009, starring Julia McKenzie as the title character.

Adapted into a Russian film in 1983 (using the Russian edition's translated title, The Secret of the Blackbirds) with Estonian actress Ita Ever as Miss Marple.
