There's not the least clue who the victim may be.
It is possible that the surname of the intended victim will begin with the letter B.

I suggest it as a possibility, no more. It came to my mind when I read the signature "A.B.C." on the first letter and again when I heard the name of the unfortunate woman in Andover.
You mean, first a Mrs. Ascher in Andover, then someone beginning with B in Bexhill?
Oui.
