2000s: Welcome to the Dead Letters Depot in East London…
The Lost Letters of William Woolf
What you need to know before your trail
Inside the Dead Letters Depot in East London, William Woolf is one of thirty letter detectives who spend their days solving mysteries: Missing postcodes, illegible handwriting, rain-smudged ink, lost address labels, torn packages, forgotten street names – they are all the culprits of missed birthdays, broken hearts, unheard confessions, pointless accusations, unpaid bills and unanswered prayers.
When William discovers letters addressed simplyto ‘My Great Love’ his work takes on new meaning. Written by a woman to a soulmate she hasn’t met yet, the missives stir William in ways he didn’t know were possible. Soon he begins to wonder: Could William be her great love?
William must follow the clues in Winter’s letters to solve his most important mystery yet: the human heart.

The Dead Letters Depot in East London is sadly fictional but it’s somewhere along Shoreditch High Street we are told where thousands of hidden treasures await salvation.The “peculiar flotsam and jetsam of life” which awaits salvation.
“Every day, the Detective opened letter after letter, parcel after parcel, searching for clues. The satisfaction of solving a mystery never faded. The joy of knowing tat something so anticipated could find tis away after a lengthy diversion remained exquisite.”
“Only a quarter of the post that passed through the depot ever found its way home, but just one very special victory could sustain a detective for weeks in their endeavours”
Imagine if this place were real? What a wonderful place this would be. This book is about letters, the lost art of communication and reuniting people with memories and hope.
