Beatrice Cahill is the sister of Fiske and Grace Cahill and the great-aunt of Amy and Dan Cahill. She was a suspect for Vesper Two, but was proven not to be.
Background
She collects ceramic cats. Neither Dan, nor Amy enjoy being in her company. She has wrinkles and blue hair, and wears a lot of rouge and uses Day-Glo red lipstick. She is a very slow driver. As Grace's sister, she is, biologically, a Madrigal, but is not an active one, as she has not passed the "tests" as Amy and Dan have. She stays out of the Clue Hunt, and tries to get/keep other people uninvolved, thinking the Clues to be "a lot of rubbish". It was later revealed that the real reason she quit the hunt was because she was to afraid to take part.
Plot Overview
The Maze of Bones
She is shown to be angry at Amy and Dan because they both choose the clue over the million dollars, she was last seen storming off very angrily. She is known to have been pressured into adopting Dan and Amy because Grace wanted her to. Amy and Dan resent her to the most of their ability.
The Black Book of Buried Secrets
She quit going onto missions, because she couldn't handle them, unlike her sister, Grace.
Nowhere to Run
She appears at the the beginning of the book at William McIntyre's funeral complaining and naming Cahills Amy and Dan never heard about. She leaves a few minutes before Amy and Dan were attacked. Her relationship with Amy and Dan becomes more healthy. It also seems that Amy is the one bossing Beatrice around now, not the other way around.
Mission Titanic
She appears in a conversation with Fiske, Amy and Dan Cahill. The conversation is about the outcast. Beatrice seems to agree with the outcast but is not fully on his side.
The Outcast invites her for a meal, and later, he takes out a syringe, and shanks her, and she dies.
