Annie (The Murder of Roger Ackroyd)

In the novel The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, Annie is the house parlourmaid of James and his nosy sister Caroline Sheppard. She is described as a "nice girl, but an inveterate talker". She is a friend of Clara, the maid of a Miss Gannett. Like Caroline, she is notably good at gaining information on everything happening in King's Abbot. Annie isn't allowed to clean Dr Sheppard's study as there are very delicate machines and devices there, since Sheppard is fond of mechanics.

She knew of Mrs Ferrars' death before most of the population of the village. Caroline told her brother that she didn't knew what Mrs Ferrars died of, and Dr Sheppard jokingly replied that "if Annie had told her", she must have been a medium or a spiritualist. Caroline was informed of the cause of death by the milkman and later by her brother.
