Inspector Drewitt

In the short story Death by Drowning, Inspector Drewitt is police officer leading the investigation into the death of Rose Emmott. Miss Marple had some suspicions about the case but on real facts. If she spoke to Drewitt, she believed that he would simply laugh. Miss Marple thought of Drewitt as an intelligent man, but to her, a mediocre amount of intelligence is sometimes most dangerous. "It does not take one far enough." She went to Sir Henry Clithering instead.
