'A PROPER PAGE-TURNER' Emma Rous
Twenty years ago, a group of students each wrote themselves a letter - Dear Future Me - confiding their deepest dreams and their very darkest secrets.
Now the letters, thought long discarded, have begun to drop through letterboxes. For some they will make them re-evaluate the decisions they've made, the person they could have been.
For others, the letters could be deadly . . .
A compulsively gripping thriller of regret, hidden secrets and the deepest betrayal, Dear Future Me is the unmissable new book from the lauded author of The Dangerous Kind and The Captive.

Reviews
O'Connor is the talent of a generation and this is the perfect book group thriller.Gillian McAllister
Innocent-looking letters send deadly shockwaves through a community in this emotionally-charged and intricately plotted thriller. A proper page-turner: clever and supremely satisfying.Emma Rous, author of The Au Pair and The Perfect Guests
An enthralling dual-timeline mystery that links two tragedies, 20 years apart . . . Realizing only she cares enough to learn the truth, Audrey launches an investigation that soon casts doubt both on [a] long-ago death and the peaceful facade of a town she thought she knew . . . with Audrey's quest taking on a poignant, tragic quality from its first moments. Themes of moral relativism and class difference are equally well developed. This is a winner.Publishers Weekly
