Jane Wilkinson

"I know her, you see. She's terribly sweet on the surface. But she would kill as easily as drink her morning tea, believe me."

- Bryan Martin describing Lady Edgware

Jane Wilkinson, also known as Lady Edgware, is the main antagonist of Agatha Christie's Lord Edgware Dies featuring Hercule Poirot as its protagonist. She is the wife of the novel's titular victim, Lord Edgware, who was fed up by her husband's abusive and condescending attitude, thus inviting Poirot and Hastine in assisting her to divorce him. However, her true plan is to murder him and take over his fortune.
