A missing woman leads her twin sister on a twisted scavenger hunt in
this clever debut novel with eccentric, dysfunctional characters who
will keep you guessing until the end—for readers of Luckiest Girl
Alive and The Wife Between Us. Ava has her reasons for running away
to Paris. But when she receives the shocking news that her twin
sister, Zelda, is dead, she is forced to return home to her family’s
failing vineyard in upstate New York. Knowing Zelda’s penchant for
tricks and deception, Ava is not surprised when she receives her
twin’s cryptic message from beyond the grave. Following her
sister’s trail of clues, Ava immerses herself in Zelda’s drama and
her outlandish circle of friends and lovers, and soon finds herself
confronted with dark family legacies and twisted relationships. Is
Zelda trying to punish Ava for leaving? Or is she simply trying to
write her own ending? Caite Dolan-Leach’s debut thriller is a
literary scavenger hunt for secrets hidden everywhere from wine
country to social media, and buried at the dysfunctional heart of one
utterly unforgettable family. Praise for Dead Letters
“Dolan-Leach writes like Paula Hawkins by way of Curtis
Sittenfeld.”—Amy Gentry, author of Good as Gone “A sharp,
wrenching tale of the true love only twins know . . . 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 “A smart, dazzling mystery . . .
Dolan-Leach revels in toying with both Ava and her audience . . . and
the result is captivating.”—Publishers Weekly (starred review)
“Draws you in like you are part of the story itself, living and
breathing alongside the compelling characters as they uncover the dark
secrets of their complicated family.”—Wendy Walker, author of All
Is Not Forgotten “Push-pull tension . . . This book is
wine-soaked yet lucid, comforting and frightening, asking the big
questions about intimacy and loyalty.”—Caroline Kepnes, author of
