Summary

“If you want to find me, search within these pages.”

Bestselling author Richard Debden is missing. The only clue: a copy of his unpublished final novel delivered to his ex-girlfriend, Amy. When those closest to Richard reunite for his memorial, Amy turns to Chris, his former best friend, to help unravel the mystery. Could Richard still be alive and in need of their help?

Richard’s manuscript tells of two abandoned children in wartime Britain, instructed by a shadowy Postmaster to deliver letters to ghosts and release them from their torment. As Chris and Amy delve into the text, they identify parallels between fiction and reality; clues to a trail that leads across the country and – they hope – to Richard.

But they are not the only interested party. A mysterious society is following them, their motives unclear. Can Chris and Amy unlock the secrets of Dead Letters, or will more sinister forces get there first?

Good in parts

Through an author’s last book his friends try to find out what happened to him. There were two big problems with this for me. 1. The book within the book was pretty crap! The writer in the story has switched from high fantasy to a weird ghost story about kids. Trouble is that it’s slow and philosophical. 2, The missing man doesn’t really sound like someone anyone would really go searching for! He’s fixated on his ex and his no one seemed to like him too much. This is a pretty damning review but there were bits in the “reality” sections I enjoyed. In the end it just wasn’t important enough for its own premise.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
