'I LOVE THIS BOOK ON SO MANY LEVELS' CAROLINE KEPNES, AUTHOR OF NETFLIX HIT YOU



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...

Caite Dolan-Leach is a literary translator and critic, whose translations from French have been published by Dalkey Archive Press. Her criticism has appeared in Music and Literature, The Quarterly Conversation and the White Review. She currently lives in Paris. Dead Letters is her debut novel.



A clever, intricate and beautifully executed novel about the games sisters play, and their occasionally deadly consequences...



I love this book on so many levels. We are so lucky that this debut novelist chose to shine her light on that most inescapable, infuriating dichotomy: Are you a good girl or abad girl?



A roller-coaster read that's as enthralling as it is WTF?!



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.



Excellent! A really gripping read



So far, it's my favorite crime debut of 2017, and it will take a lot to change this.



A perfectly orchestrated cat and mouse thriller that will keep you guessing until the very last chapter... Not to be missed!



A smart, dazzling mystery with a twist... Captivating.



In her startling debut novel, Dolan-Leach nimbly entwines the clever mysteryof Agatha Christie, the wit of Dorothy Parker, and the inebriated Gothic of Eugene O'Neill.



Dolan Leach's tautly crafted crime debut will resonate with fans of Gillian Flynn's and Paula Hawkins' domestic psychological thrillers.



A story as compassionate and insightful as it is riveting



A smart and twisty thriller that will keep you guessing right up to the ending.



A masterful debut. Harrowing, revelatory, brilliantly alive.



An exceptionally smart debut... [It] kept me guessing and compulsively turning pages to reach its surprising and very satisfying end.



A clever and compelling mystery that will keep you guessing until the end.



Dolan-Leach writes like Paula Hawkins by way of Curtis Sittenfeld.
