A friend to Linnet and Lord Windlesham, as well as a cousin to Tim Allerton, Joanna is well-connected to the central events of the story, though she plays a small role. Mrs. Allerton disdains Tim’s correspondence with Joanna because she thinks the two of them are in love; in fact, though, they are corresponding about jewelry theft. Joanna identifies good targets and has copies of their jewelry made, while Tim swaps the forgeries with the originals. She and Tim plot to steal Linnet’s pearls, although neither of them had any knowledge of or involvement in the murder plot.
