The Poison Pen Letters by Fiona Walker
4.0
Juno and co are back for some more mystery solving. This time one of their own is being targeted - Phoebe received an invitation to her own funeral! Then the poor postman is killed when someone sends her a letterbomb!
Juno continues to pine/lust after her new friend Mil. She thinks he's too young for a widow like her, but I say let Mil decide who he wants to date! The flirty banter between them is escalating - she just needs a little prod.
I love a great amateur sleuth mystery and this team are growing on me. Juno is a great leader of the pack, even though she may dispute that herself. Phoebe and Felix would be couple goals if Phoebe could rid herself of her mental health battles, which causes rifts between them. Felix is no angel but it is clear that he loves his wife. Learning more about their life prior to the village really filled in some gaps.
There are plenty of suspects to choose from and the plot twists a few times, skewing the favour to one suspect or another. I really struggled to have any empathy for Penny at all, she was such a vicious madam.
I have to admit I was completely hoodwinked at the reveal - I did not see that coming at all! There are lots of laughs from the supporting characters of Juno‘s mum and her boyfriend Dennis. Juno's son also makes a wee appearance, dealing with a dilemma of his own.
