Rex Sandford is an architect from London who does not seem to have been very popular in the village even before he was responsible for Rose's condition.

4. How old was the boy, Jimmy Brown, who heard the splash of the girl going into the water?

Answer: 12

Jimmy is 12 years old and is described as being very perceptive and clearly makes a good impression on Sir Henry when he is interviewed.

5. Who was the dead girl's steady young man before she became involved with the architect?

Answer: Joe Ellis

The consensus of those whom the police speak to seems to be that Rose would have been all right if she had stuck with Joe instead of becoming involved with Sandford.

6. Who did the police interview first?

Answer: Tom Emmott

They go see Rose's father first in the Blue Boar pub. He is insistent that Sandford is responsible for his daughter's death as he wasn't keen to stick by her and the baby.

7. What does Sir Henry claim to have left behind when he goes back in to see Sandford after he is interviewed?

Answer: Gloves

Sir Henry goes back in to reassure Sandford that they are going to get the right man without letting the other officers know.

8. Who does Joe Ellis lodge with?

Answer: Mrs. Bartlett

Joe lodges with a woman called Mrs. Bartlett who claims that Joe was working on something in the kitchen on the night that Rose died. Sir Henry can't help but think that Joe and Mrs. Bartlett were very quick to come up with their alibi.

9. Jimmy Brown says that he heard a man whistling nearby on the night that Rose died. He thinks it was Joe Ellis judging by the tune that he was whistling. What was the tune?

Answer: I Wanner be Happy

Jimmy says that it's the only tune Joe knows so if he saw a man and heard him whistling that then it must be him.

10. The note that Miss Marple gave Sir Henry had the correct name of the killer on it.

Answer: True

Of course it was! Miss Marple knew that it was Mrs. Bartlett who killed Rose because she was in love with her lodger Joe.
