Mr Wells (The Mysterious Affair at Styles)

In the novel The Mysterious Affair at Styles, Mr Wells is the lawyer handling the affairs of Emily Inglethorp. After her murder, Wells also served as the coroner at the inquest.

Wells first meets Hercule Poirot and Hastings at Styles Court the day after Emily Inglethorpe dies. According to Wells, Mrs Inglethorpe had written to him the day before asking him to call on her the next day. On the topic of Mrs Inglethorpe's will, he told Poirot and Hastings that her last will left everything to John Cavendish. However this would be invalidated by her marriage to Alfred Inglethorpe. Mrs Inglethorpe had a habit of making a new will once a year but had not made any since her marriage. Wells later goes through her papers with John Cavendish in case there could be a new will.
