"I can see it becoming a best seller and a film, it has everything there, plus so much soul, its definitely a roller coaster ride read. I read 'til 3am one morning and it was during a storm! I highly recommend this amazing book." - Annette Rainbow
"I’ve read many novels, but The Seven Letters stands out for me as one of the best. I was involved with the mystery from the start and found the ending so moving. I read it it two sittings on holiday and would recommend it to anyone. The characters are very real and stay with you afterwards." - Paul Chantry

A truly excellent read. I was enthralled for the entire story, and even thought about it when I was going about my day. I wish more detail would have been given to Freddy such as why exactly he did what he did as opposed to him just dying of natural causes. It seemed out of place with this story. As well as Matt... I think he shouldn't have been as important as he was only to have him not be around for the last part of the story. All in all this was an excellent read, thank you so much for allowing me to read this wonderful book!
