The Daughters of FreyaAn "email mystery" novel by Michael Betcherman and David Diamond."Once I'd read the first couple of emails, I was hooked ... It's as though some invisible IT gremlin is bcc'ing you on a series of juicy messages as they're sent." - Jane Perrone, The Guardian
"Finally! A good reason to check your inbox."An email from a desperate friend sends journalist Samantha Dempsey to Marin County north of San Francisco to investigate The Daughters of Freya, a cult that believes sex is the solution to the world's problems. But she soon finds out there is more to the cult than meets the eye. Read the synopsis
The story is told through emails exchanged among the characters. But instead of reading the emails in a book, they're delivered straight to your inbox, 4-5 a day over the three weeks it takes for the mystery to unfold in "real time". Read the first three emails for free.
You can't turn a page to find out what happens next ... you have to wait for the next email to arrive. You've never read a mystery like this before!
