An amusing whodunit set out in an epistolary novel. A cache of letters stolen from a Yorkshire village postbox is recovered, and it is each of these vignettes that form the basis of satire on rural village life. The actual theft is secondary to the comical tales of corruption or misunderstandings that each eccentric village resident pens in their letters. Some of the characters are so obnoxious that I am surprised there wasn’t a murder too!
