Edwina Morecambe

In the short story The Adventure of the Christmas Pudding, Edwina Morecambe was a friend of Mrs Emmeline Lacey. Mrs Lacey was concerned about her grand daughter Sarah Lacey who was attracted to Desmond Lee-Wortley, a man who had a very bad reputation. Edwina suggested that Mrs Lacey might invite Hercule Poirot to her house, Kings Lacey for Christmas. Poirot might be able to discover something "useful" about Lee-Wortley. According to Edwina Morecambe, Poirot had performed a similar service for her in the past. She was, of course, making the suggestion to Mrs Lacey at the behest of Mr Jesmond, who wanted Poirot at the Christmas house party to investigate a jewel theft.

Edwina Morecambe was not featured in the film adaptation of the story in Series 3 of ITV's Agatha Christie's Poirot. The role is filled by a non-canonical character "Edwina Jesmond", presumably the wife of Mr Jesmond.
