First appearance: The Case of the Missing Will
As a supporting figure in Poirot Investigates, Miss Violet Marsh is not background color—the story leans on what they do once the chapter opens.
Client who hires Poirot to find her uncle's will.
Violet Marsh dresses plainly but neatly and carries herself with the assurance of someone used to being taken seriously, which makes her uncle's final testament all the more galling. The will leaves her a puzzle rather than a fortune, and she comes to Poirot not as a supplicant but as a client with a case to argue. Her steadiness gives the mystery its spine, since the question of whether she can outthink a dead man's joke is the question the story asks.
