Gladys Linch

In the MIss Marple short story The Tuesday Night Club, Gladys Linch was the maid of Albert Jones and his wife. One of her duties was to prepare the meals for Mr and Mrs Jones and Mrs Jones's companion Miss Clark.

Mr Jones had promised Gladys that he would marry her, when his wife was dead. After the death of Mrs Jones, Albert left the pregnant Gladys for another woman. The baby died at birth, and a dying Gladys confessed that Albert had given her arsenic laced hundreds and thousands to use in a trifle to kill Mrs Jones.
