Publisher's summary

A rash of poison pen letters has enveloped the sleepy English village of Walmsley Parva in cloud of suspicion and paranoia. But when rampant aspersions culminate in murder, enquiry agents Beryl Helliwell and Edwina Davenport must stamp out the evil-minded epistles....

What began for two dear if very different friends—an American adventuress and a prim and proper Brit—as a creative response to the lean times following the Great War has evolved into a respectable private inquiry business. So much so that Constable Gibbs calls upon Beryl and Edwina to solve a curious campaign of character assassination.

A series of anonymous accusations sent via post have set friend against friend and neighbor against neighbor. In her new position as magistrate, Edwina has already had to settle one dispute that led to fisticuffs. Even Beryl has received a poison pen letter, and while she finds its message preposterous and laughable, others are taking the missives to heart. Their headstrong housekeeper Beddoes is ready to resign, and one villager has attempted to take her own life.

The disruption of the peace goes far beyond malicious mischief when another villager is murdered. Now it's up to the intrepid sleuths to read between the lines and narrow down the suspects to identify the lethal letter writer and ensure that justice is delivered....

Loved everything about it

The writing and how it paints a perfect picture with great details.
The reading and how Barbara does the voices and her intonations.
I will be sure to start the series back to book number one.

Another Cozy and Dear Friend!

Since book 1 I have indulged in the small village of Walmsley Parva and the nuances between the friendship of Beryl Helliwell and Edwina Davenport. The synchronicity in which their fundamental standard to advocate for others offers a complex and entertaining juxtaposition in their upbringing, personality traits, ideals, and countenances. I’m probably going to play the book again to try and pickup on anything I may have previously missed. And I do love Barbara Rosenblat’s voices and characters!
