# Audrey Greyle — Scarhaven Keep character guide

> Audrey Greyle in Scarhaven Keep by J. S. Fletcher.

**Role:** major

**Also known as:** Miss Audrey Greyle, Miss Greyle, Audrey

**First appearance:** 0001-ii-grey-rock-and-grey-sea

## Snapshot

The disinherited Greyle daughter, quick-tongued and defiant, who slips Copplestone past Chatfield's locks and into the heart of the mystery.

## Who they are

Audrey lives in a threadbare cottage with her mother while her cousin occupies the great house, and she has made her peace with neither. She calls Chatfield a bad old man and means it, and she knows a hole in the Keep's curtain wall that he does not. Her loyalty to her mother's suspicions — that the Squire is not what he claims — makes her both ally and stake in the investigation.
