**Role:** supporting

**Also known as:** Miss Flossie Monro, Miss Monro, Poor Flossie Monro

**First appearance:** 0005-vi-the-woman-on-the-stairs

## Snapshot

A young woman drawn into the Big Four's orbit, remembered in the narrative with a note of pity as 'poor Flossie Monro.'

## Who they are

Flossie Monro belongs to the human cost of the Big Four's war on the social order — the ordinary lives caught and broken by an organization that treats people as instruments. The pity that clings to her name in the text suggests a fate that Poirot and Hastings cannot prevent, and that haunts them afterward. She matters because she makes the conspiracy personal: behind the submarines and aeroplane disasters are real people who pay for the Big Four's ambitions.
