Garner Quinn has taken a hiatus from her famous career as a true crime writer. However, this is one time in which out of sight does not mean out of mind as the public still endows her with much acclaim. However, one of her fans is making her life a living hell by sending her letters, breaking into her car and leaving threatening notes. Garner takes the threats very seriously and hires Corbin, Inc, a security firm to the rich and famous, to safeguard her. Reed Corbin sets up a trap to capture Garner's nemesis even as he makes sure his client knows that he is very attracted to her. She reciprocates his feelings even though he is not Dane Blakemore.
When the stalker is apprehended, Garner concludes that Dane is never returning from Europe to her and is prepared to pursue a relationship with Reed. However, tragedy strikes, causing Garner to flee to the arms of Dane in Paris. However, Garner is called home because some unknown has posted bond for the stalker. The stalker is killed by the security agent but for Garner the terrot has only just begun.
Jane Waterhouse can always be counted on to give her readers the unexpected and her third Quinn novel is no exception. DEAD LETTER is a roller coaster ride of thrills, chills, and unrelenting suspense. There are so many twists and turns coupled with unexpected but believable surprises that the reader will be unable to put the book down until the last page has been turned. Anyone who has tasted a Quinn book will want to read the other two stories as well as future books because they will become addicted to the series.
