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.

O'Connor is the talent of a generation and this is the perfect book group thriller. * Gillian McAllister *
A captivating, beautifully written thriller of secrets, betrayal and the fateful collision of past and present. * T.M. Logan, Sunday Times bestselling author of THE HOLIDAY and THE MOTHER *
A thought-provoking mystery about secrets, betrayal and self-discovery, Dear Future Me surprises with its many twists, while packing an emotional punch. I raced through this book in a couple of days and couldn't stop thinking about it. * Lisa Gray, bestselling author of Thin Air and The Dark Room *
Innocent-looking letters send deadly shockwaves through a community in thisemotionally-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 *
