In the novel 4.50 from Paddington, Emma Crackenthorpe is the only surviving daughter of Luther Crackenthorpe. She lives with him in the family home, Rutherford Hall.
She reminds Miss Marple of Geraldine Webb.
Emma is described as a "middle-aged woman with no very outstanding characteristics, neither good-looking nor plain". She has dark hair, which she wears swept back from her forehead, steady hazel eyes, and a very pleasant voice. She is five feet and seven inches tall.
Dr Quimper says that Emma has the instinct some women have to make their menfolk happy. She sees that her father likes being an invalid, so she lets him be an invalid, although there is nothing really wrong with him. She also let Cedric feel that he is a good painter, let Harold know how much she relied on his sound judgment, and let Alfred shock her with stories of his clever deals. Dr Quimper feels that she would have been a good wife and mother.
When a woman's body is discovered in the Long Barn at Rutherford Hall, and it is revealed that she is probably a foreigner, Emma wonders whether the woman could be Martine, a French woman her brother Edmund Crackenthorpe had been in love with. Emma had received a letter from Martine, saying she and Edmund had married before he was killed, and that they had a son. Emma had arranged for Martine to come and meet the family, but had then received a message from Martine saying she had to return to France and could not see them. Emma wondered whether she should tell the police about this. Her brothers all felt that it was unnecessary, but Dr Quimper encouraged her to tell the police, as she would go on worrying otherwise.
Emma tells Inspector Craddock about the letter. She also says that she was very fond of Edmund, and that he was her favourite brother. She was not sure whether the letter from Martine was genuine or not, but she had wanted it to be true, as she would have been glad if Edmund had left a son.
