    Edna– Miss Marple's maid in "The Case of the Perfect Maid."  Asks Miss Marple to clear her friend Gladys's name from accusations of theft.

    Florence Hill, AKA "Faithful Florence."  Leaves Miss Marple's employment to run a lodging house, but comes back to work for Miss Marple temporarily while Lucy Eyelesbarrow is on assignment in 4:50 From Paddington.

    Gladys Martin– ex-maid and murder victim in A Pocket Full of Rye.

    Cherry Baker– Works for Miss Marple in The Mirror Crack'd.  Moves into Miss Marple's house as full-time help (along with her husband) in Nemesis. Miss Marple sends her away temporarily in Crack'd so she doesn't get murdered.

    Miss Knight– Appears in Mirror Crack'd.  Overbearing, patronizing, and annoying nurse/maid.  Miss Marple despises her.  Referenced in Nemesis– at first Miss Marple thinks her name is Miss Bishop (the mix-up is connected to chess).

    Lucy Eyelesbarrow– domestic help extraordinaire.  Came to nurse Miss Marple back to health after a serious illness.  Never stays any place longer than a month, helps Miss Marple solve a crime in 4:50 from Paddington.
  • GKCfanGKCfan Wisconsin, United States
    Unnamed parlourmaid– mentioned in passing in A Murder is Announced.  No good at all at waiting at table.  Puts everything on the table crooked, mixes kitchen knives with dining-room knives, and her cap was never straight.  Pleasant around the house, made Miss Marple laugh.  Comes to Miss Marple for help when her friend Florrie gets "in trouble" by the gentlemanly assistant at the hairdresser's.  Marries a Baptist minister and has five children.

    "Very diminutive maid"– works for Miss Marple in Murder at the Vicarage.
  • GKCfanGKCfan Wisconsin, United States
    Emily– the real name of the "very diminutive maid" in Vicarage.  Cannot be trusted to make up a bed properly.
  • GKCfanGKCfan Wisconsin, United States
    Ethel– mentioned in "A Christmas Tragedy."  Good-looking girl and obliging in every way.  Only works for Miss Marple a month because Miss Marple believes that she is a potential thief.  Goes to work for Lady Ashton, and steals two diamond brooches and all of the lace off Lady Ashton's underclothes.  Disappears in the night and is never heard from again.



    This is not a complete list, but it's a start.

    Gwen- "Little maid with red hair."  Mentioned in "Miss Marple Tells A Story."

    Janet– mentioned in The Body In the Library.  Would lie convincingly and then relax too soon, giving the game away.
  • GKCfanGKCfan Wisconsin, United States
    Amy, Clara, Alice, Kitty– additional young girls from St. Faith's orphanage trained as maids by Miss Marple.  Kitty appears in A Pocket Full of Rye.

    Is Florence the Maid Miss Marple goes to stay with in Sleeping Murder?

    No - faithful Florence is the maid she goes to stay with in 4.50 from Paddington. I think in Sleeping Murder she goes to stay with an old cook or servant of Mrs. Bantry.
