Mrs Fowler

In the novel The A.B.C. Murders, Mrs Fowler is the mother of Edie Fowler. She lives in Andover, and Alice Ascher was her next-door neighbour.

After the death of Mrs Ascher, Poirot calls on Mrs Fowler, telling her that he is from the Evening Flicker. He offers her five pounds for an article about Mrs Ascher. Mrs Fowler tells Poirot that she had always said that Franz Ascher would "do for" his wife. She felt that Mrs Ascher should not have been alone in the house, and her niece, Mary Drower, should have been with her, because a man who has been drinking could be as dangerous as a wolf.
