The Poison Pen

They know your every secret.

They watch your every move.

Mrs Wilton likes to think she has no secrets. She is a self-professed paragon of virtue, but someone is out to strike her from her pedestal. When a letter arrives on her doormat filled with lies and filthy accusations, Mrs Wilton is shocked. Suddenly she feels vulnerable in her own home.

She is not alone.

Dozens of vicious letters filled with dark secrets are circulating about the neighbourhood and making people afraid of their neighbours.

Just who is the author behind the lies and why are they so keen to hurt people?

Clara Fitzgerald finds herself digging into everyone's dirty laundry in an effort to find the writer of the malicious messages before someone is pushed over the edge by their slanderous words. But can she restore peace of mind to the letter writer's victims, or will the Poison Pen continue their increasingly vindictive vengeance?

Clara is determined to find the person who is so intent on destroying the harmony of the community with their poisonous words, and not even direct threats against her will stop her investigation.

The Poison Pen is the sixth novel in this cosy, entertaining, historical murder mystery series by Evelyn James.
