Albert Mere

In the novel Why Didn't They Ask Evans?, Albert Mere was the gardener at Tudor Cottage. He was once calling in to witness the will of John Savage, a guest at the cottage, and give his signature as witness along with Rose Chudleigh, the cook. The next day Savage died, and Albert was likely let go from his employment at the cottage along with Rose and the parlourmaid Gladys Evans, when his employers, the Templetons, announced that they were moving abroad. Later he passed away, and while Frankie and Bobby speculated that he could be murdered, they are declined to believe he died of natural causes since he was 72.

Frankie wondered why Albert was called in as a witness, when both Rose and Gladys were in the house, until she realized that either Rose or Albert had seen Savage unlike Gladys. Rose hadn’t worked at Tudor Cottage for long and Albert, being an old man, might not see well, so neither of them could expose Roger Bassington-ffrench as an imposter.
