A prequel to the off-shoot of the Casey Duncan series, Dead Letter Days takes place when Casey and Eric are at a lodge with the other townspeople from Rockton as they are waiting for their new town, Haven’s Rock, to be built. Someone in their group plants fake dead bodies in the woods around the lodge as a joke because Casey has stumbled across quite a few dead bodies in her time as an investigator, but in this case the mystery she stumbles upon is for a cold case of a missing person. As she and Eric investigate, Eric learns some things about his past that he’ll need to make a decision on so that he can move forward with a clean slate in his new life.

This short novella was unusual in that it didn’t actually involve any dead bodies and was missing the eeriness of some of the Rockton mysteries. In fact, they mystery Casey and Eric ended up solving gave these characters a small bit of peace. I enjoyed the different feel of this novel. Despite the things Eric finds out about his past, which cause him a bit of distress, it seems like a happy time for these characters and the mood in the writing reflected that. It was a nice change.

There isn’t too much to say about this because it was only about 100 pages and I don’t want to give any details away, but I enjoyed this short story. What I learned about the characters set’s the reader up for the first novel in the next series and I’m looking forward to seeing how these characters grow into their new place. ❤️❤️❤️❤️
