Dead Letters Summary

Dead Letters by Caite Dolan-Leach

Some games are dangerous.
And some are deadly...

Ava doesn't believe it when the email arrives to say that her twin sister is dead. It just feels too perfect to be anything other than Zelda's usual manipulative scheming. And Ava knows her twin.

Now, Ava must return home to retrace her sister's last steps. But her search turns into a twisted scavenger-hunt of her twin's making.

Letter by letter, Ava unearths clues to her sister's disappearance, which reveal a series of harrowing truths from their past - truths both of them had tried to forget.

A is for Ava, Z is for Zelda, but deciphering the letters in-between is not so simple...

Dead Letters Reviews

Newcomer Caite Dolan-Leach shows us just how close twin sisters can be - and shockingly far apart. With near-perfect plotting and an ear for the complicated lives of clever women, Dolan-Leach writes like Paula Hawkins by way of Curtis Sittenfeld. At once a moving family drama and a wickedly macabre mystery, Dead Letters is above all a satisfying puzzle that will keep readers guessing until the very last page. -- Amy Gentry, author of GOOD AS GONE
Excellent! A really gripping read -- Lisa Hall
So far, it's my favorite crime debut of 2017, and it will take a lot to change this. -- Sarah Weinman, The Crime Lady blog
A perfectly orchestrated cat and mouse thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last chapter... Not to be missed! -- Wendy Walker, author of All is Not Forgotten
A smart, dazzling mystery with a twist... Captivating. * Publishers Weekly *
In her startling debut novel, Dolan-Leach nimbly entwines the clever mystery of Agatha Christie, the wit of Dorothy Parker, and the inebriated Gothic of Eugene O'Neill. * Kirkus Reviews *
Dolan Leach's tautly crafted crime debut will resonate with fans of Gillian Flynn's and Paula Hawkins' domestic psychological thrillers. * Booklist *

An exceptionally smart debut... [It] kept me guessing and compulsively turning pages to reach its surprising and very satisfying end. -- Carla Buckley, author of The Good Goodbye
A clever and compelling mystery that will keep you guessing until the end. -- Laura McHugh, author of The Weight of Blood
