Spring, 1949
All of Puddledown is excitedly preparing for the upcoming wedding of Helena Fairfax, the Viscount’s daughter, to Walter Evans, a farmer’s son. The unlikely love match is the talk of the town, but Hugo Wainwright and Tommy Granger are dealing with a distraction closer to home. Tommy’s family have announced their intention to visit.
Hugo wants nothing more than to impress his friend’s sister and mother, but Tommy’s brother-in-law, the Rev. Daniel Stone, makes it clear from the moment he arrives he has no time for Tommy. Hugo never considered himself a violent man, but Daniel’s constant dismissal of Tommy brings all his protective instincts to the surface.
Then the letters start arriving.
The community is torn apart as malicious notes are pushed through doors all over Puddledown, and when Hugo receives one, Tommy starts to panic. The police have no suspects, so it’s up to Hugo to expose the culprit before the wedding is ruined and Tommy’s family leave, perhaps never to return. Can he solve the mystery, or will the veiled threats of an anonymous stranger drive Hugo and Tommy apart forever?

The Poison Pen Puddledown Mysteries Book 3 edition by Kate Aaron Literature Fiction eBooks
All through the first and second installments of this totally delightful series, 33-year-old bookworm Hugo Wainwright has fought to break out of his self-imposed, and socially safe, persona and lifestyle because he has finally found the man whom he wishes to call not only friend, but lover. But he cannot bring himself to think in those terms in late 1940s England, even though his companion Tommy Granger, the estate's groundskeeper, is gently pushing him toward self-fulfillment.But when Tommy's mother, sister and overbearingly pious brother-in-law minister accept his invitation to visit, Tommy falls completely apart because he cannot bear the thought of them knowing about his relationship with Hugo, and how far it has proceeded (even if they are only still kissing).
Completely out of the blue, Hugo--whom I likened in a review of the second book in the series as a young Mr. Marple--takes complete charge of the situation. The result is a sweet, sometimes funny, and heart-tugging episode in which Hugo becomes the aggressor and confident planner that Tommy had been in the previous books.
How the two of them deal not only with Tommy's family--and especially the fire-and-brimstone minister--as well as the rest of the town over the crisis at hand is clever, even if you suspect from the start whom the culprit might be. (And you'd be wrong).
The way the book, and the series, ends is far too precious for words and will bring a lot of smiles, and maybe a tear of job. Very well done.

The Poison Pen Puddledown Mysteries Book 3 edition by Kate Aaron Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
I think what I loved most about this installment of the Puddletown Mysteries, was how Hugo and Tommy pretty much switched places in their relationship. In The Dead Past and The Coward's Way, Tommy was more confident and outgoing but here we have Hugo stepping up and taking the lead. I think a lot of that has to do with the visit from Tommy's family. Most of us turn back the clock a little towards our childhood when we find ourselves with our parents, and here we have Tommy's mother, sister, and brother-in-law visiting Puddletown in The Poison Pen. As for Daniel, the brother-in-law, he's quite a pill to swallow so I won't even begin to go there. As for the mystery letters, it may not be murder but I found it just as intriguing because everyone has something they don't want others knowing, so it truly can be anyone wielding The Poison Pen.
This series is delightful; full of period detail and a lot of fun to read.
