Hetty is called in by a woman who stands accused of spreading poison pen letters in a small village.
The Advent of the internet boom means that people don't send letters in the same way, and as such people no longer send poison pen letters, great in a sense, but sad for tv drama, there have been some great stories over the years, thinking of Agatha Christie's The Moving Finger.
This is a fine episode, a very good story, which sees Hetty go undercover, and Derek and Geoffrey go rogue on a case together, they clearly had to find some use for the pair with Hetty busy.
The Village is beautiful, some glorious properties.
She Johnston in that black wig truly looks the part of a femme fatale. Routledge is excellent as always, great in her artist's disguise.
A mix of drama and fun. 8/10
