Chief Inspector Fred Davy
Shrewd and deceptively avuncular; his patient, unhurried manner conceals a sharp investigative mind.
Lady Bess Sedgwick
A much-married, danger-seeking woman whose past entanglements quietly link several other guests.
Elvira Blake
Outwardly demure but more wilful and self-directed than her guardians realise.
Canon Pennyfather
His scholarly forgetfulness makes his comings and goings strangely hard to account for.
Michael Gorman
A former soldier recently taken on, whose history is more tangled with the guests than his post suggests.
Ladislaus Malinowski
Reckless and attractive, an associate of Bess Sedgwick who also draws Elvira's attention.
Miss Gorringe
Embodies the hotel's old-world discretion, remembering every regular guest by name.
Mr Humfries
Smoothly attentive front-of-house presence who keeps the establishment's image immaculate.
