This is England after all.

Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley lead the cast as Edith Swan and Rose Gooding, respectively.

As the police investigate, secrets surface.

Who is the true wicked wordsmith?

This ridiculous tale is based on a true story.

So, lets dive into the historical details.

When women begin receiving foul-mouthed letters, the quaint little neighborhood destabilizes.

Tensions run high as fingers begin to point every which way.

Talk about class inequality.

Though most were quick to throw Edith to the wolves, Inspector George Nicholls smelled something fishy.

George, with the help of another woman, solved the mystery and liberated the innocent Rose.

Turns out Edith was writing the letters all along.

A little bit of handwriting analysis helped place Rose in the hot seat.

(Some things never change).
