When Celia's father is killed in Afghanistan, she moves with her mother to his hometown of New Orleans. Struggling to adjust and haunted by troubling dreams, Celia finds comfort in new friends like Tilly, a practicing witch, and Donovan, the son of a police detective. On Halloween, bizarre supernatural occurrences rock the city. Celia meets the mysterious Luc and finds a letter, over a hundred years old, addressed to her and describing a present-day murder. With help from Luc, Tilly, and Donovan, Celia races to solve the murder--and the mystery of the letter--using both magical and forensic clues.
THIS IS AN ACTIVE FICTION SERIES
DEAD LETTER OFFICE is the first installment of PARISH MAIL, an Active Fiction series from Coliloquy. Throughout the series, author Kira Snyder uses a unique interactive format to augment the typical reading experience.
Kira is writing PARISH MAIL like a TV series--there are over-arching mystery and romantic story arcs that extend between the episodes, while each episode has a smaller case that is presented and solved. Along the way, she asks you, the reader, to make several small decisions as you read. These choices do not impact the overarching storyline, but certain combinations unlock clues to the series mystery, which are embedded in the text. In DEAD LETTER OFFICE, Kira also asks you to cast a vote at the end of the episode, to get additional feedback from her fans about their preferred love interests in future episodes.
