She matters because her perspective pushes the Circle beyond dry forensics into the messier territory of motive and desire. ## Relationships ### [Sir Charles Wildman](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_poisoned_chocolates_case_se/characters/sir_charles_wildman) _professional_ Mrs. Fielder-Flemming and Sir Charles are both members of the Crimes Circle, working together on the murder investigation. ### [Roger Sheringham](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_poisoned_chocolates_case_se/characters/roger_sheringham) _professional_ Mrs. Fielder-Flemming and Roger Sheringham are colleagues in the Crimes Circle, though she often challenges his theories. ### [Miss Dammers](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_poisoned_chocolates_case_se/characters/miss_dammers) _professional_ Miss Dammers and Mrs. Fielder-Flemming are both members of the Crimes Circle, though they have differing approaches to the investigation. ### [Roger Sheringham](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_poisoned_chocolates_case_se/characters/roger_sheringham) _professional_ Mrs. Fielder-Flemming and Roger Sheringham are colleagues in the Crimes Circle, though she often challenges his theories. ### [Sir Charles Wildman](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_poisoned_chocolates_case_se/characters/sir_charles_wildman) _professional_ Mrs. Fielder-Flemming and Sir Charles are both members of the Crimes Circle, working together on the murder investigation. ### [Roger Sheringham](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_poisoned_chocolates_case_se/characters/roger_sheringham) _professional_ Mrs. Fielder-Flemming and Roger Sheringham are colleagues in the Crimes Circle, though she often challenges his theories. ### [Sir Charles Wildman](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_poisoned_chocolates_case_se/characters/sir_charles_wildman) _professional_ Mrs. Fielder-Flemming and Sir Charles are both members of the Crimes Circle, working together on the murder investigation. ### [Miss Dammers](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_poisoned_chocolates_case_se/characters/miss_dammers) _professional_ Miss Dammers and Mrs. Fielder-Flemming are both members of the Crimes Circle, though they have differing approaches to the investigation. ### [Miss Dammers](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_poisoned_chocolates_case_se/characters/miss_dammers) _professional_ Miss Dammers and Mrs. Fielder-Flemming are both members of the Crimes Circle, though they have differing approaches to the investigation. ## In the story ### [The Poisoned Chocolates Case](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_poisoned_chocolates_case_se/chapters/the-poisoned-chocolates-case) Accuses Sir Charles's daughter's suitor of the murder. ### [I](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_poisoned_chocolates_case_se/chapters/i) Playwright and member; pouts at Roger's suggestion and nudges Alicia Dammers. ### [IV](https://www.betterreads.dev/discover/the_poisoned_chocolates_case_se/chapters/iv) Drawn second to present.
