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.

A fantastic concept that digs up long-buried secrets for a small town.
Claire McGowan, bestselling author of What You Did and The Other Wife
-
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.
