Cathie Grant

In the novel Hallowe'en Party, Cathie Grant is one of the girls attending the “eleven plus party” at Apple Trees. Cathie was one of the girls who listened to Joyce Reynolds talk about having seen a murder. Cathie asked Joyce why she did not go to the police whereupon Joyce replied that at the time she did not realise that it was a murder.

According to Desmond Holland, Cathie is as “dim as they make”. Cathie is also a friend of Miranda Butler. Towards the end of the story, Miranda had to cancel an appointment to go to the movies with Cathie because she and her mother were going to London.
