A solid, intelligently written little thriller with fairly satisfying twists and turns. Margot Lewis, a teacher and newspaper agony aunt, gets a letter (how quaint that people still write actual letters) purporting to be from a girl who went missing twenty years ago. How can this be? There’s a few too many dream sequences in the text for my liking, but they are easy enough to skip past. When the explanation for why Margot receives the letters becomes clear, it requires a substantial suspension of disbelief. The rest is well plotted, skilful and quite compelling. It’s a like but not a love.
