When a rash of poisoned pen letters envelops their sleepy English village, Beryl and Edwina, the delightfully mismatched friends and sleuths-of-a-certain-age, step up to stamp out the evil-minded epistles in Jessica Ellicott’s sixth historical mystery set in the wake of WWI. 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 enquiry 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 …Show book

Description： Before Claire Liu left for college, her father gave away her tuition money. Not his own savings — her mother's. The fund scraped together over years of worn-through socks and meatless weeks, quietly fattened by a hundred dollars here, three hundred there. He handed it to a neighbor whose daughter needed it more. He said: *they're going through a hard time.* He always said that. About everyone except his own family. The Most Generous Man I Ever Hated is Claire's account of growing up in the shadow of a father who gave everything away — and the mother who endured it, managed it, and finally, in one sharp act of quiet intelligence, ended it. It's a book about what "generosity" looks like from the inside when you're the one being deprioritized. About the difference between selflessness and self-indulgence dressed up as virtue. And about learning, eventually, to love a man you couldn't live with.Show book
