Who would you confide in if the person you most wanted to talk to was dead? Professor Basil Collingwood of Pendywick Place, London, has never disclosed his inner thoughts--or dangerous double life in Victorian Shoreditch--to anyone. At least, not anyone alive. However, he's shared everything with his deceased brother David, within these pages. And Basil needs a confidant more than ever when a brilliant--and infuriating--young mute woman shows up at his doorstep. "Dear David" is an intimate look into the heart of the hero of "The Mute of Pendywick Place" series. If you enjoy Dickensian settings, Sherlockian thrills and Austenian intrigues, you will love "Dear David."
