Mrs Rose

In the novel Murder is Easy, Mrs Rose was a washerwoman in the village of Wychwood under Ashe. Bridget Conway mentioned her when enumerating a list of people who had died recently for Luke Fitzwilliam. The vicar Alfred Wake could not give much background information about Mrs Rose as she was not from his parish--she was a "dissenter". Not much is heard of Mrs Rose thereafter and it can be assumed that her death is a coincidence and not part of the pattern of murders which Luke was investigating.
