BUT she does have over 10 witnesses who can attest that she was actually at a dinner party when the murder took place. She is also, unfortunately a key suspect due to being spotted at the scene of the murder. So, when Lord Edgware is found murdered, suddenly things are looking up for Jane. ![]() ![]() She desperately wants to marry someone else and leave her unhappy marriage. Narrated by Captain Hastings, Poirot is asked by actress and society figure, Jane Wilkinson to help get her husband, Lord Edgware to agree to a divorce.
