Book Review: Twin Peaks : The Final Dossier by Mark Frost

-


Hello, Fellow Book Worms and Book Dragons!

  She's dead... wrapped in plastic.
  Or is she?

  In 2017 an eighteen-hour event series premiered on Showtime taking on the daunting task of picking up where the Twin Peaks series finale left off in 1991. Presenting an all-star cast and returning series regulars, the "third season" left fans with even more questions, while also wrapping up what had been left unsaid for twenty-six years. Enter co-creator Mark Frost and his latest book, The Final Dossier.




  Published in October of 2017 by Flatiron Press, an imprint of McMillan books, this book offers up a rich history of Twin Peaks. Picking up immediately after the events of the Showtime series, FBI Special Agent Tammy Preston presents her findings to FBI Deputy Director Gordon Cole. With the sudden reemergence and subsequent disappearance of Special Agent Dale Cooper, many questions have been answered and left unanswered. What happened to Cooper and his long-time love, Diane? Why do Twin Peaks residents not remember that Laura Palmer was murdered in 1990? The final dossier unravels the mystery.

  As the files are presented to Cole, we are given a history of the entire series. Frost takes many plot holes and cliffhangers and casts them aside with in-depth files on many of the series main characters. I have been a Twin Peaks fan since day one, and this book had me glued to the pages, soaking up every detail. Tammy Preston was a favorite new character and it was fun reading in her words her findings of the bizarre events of season three. I loved the chapters on characters, such as Donna Hayward, that were not in the third season. Stories involving the Black Lodge, the mysterious glass box in New York City, and the infamous birth of BOB are addressed. It was a page after page love letter to long-time fans with a very satisfying end. It was a great ending for such a complex and intricate series.

  The audiobook was narrated by actress Annie Wersching (Vampire Diaries). Her presentation was excellent, capturing Tammy Preston's biting sarcasm very well. I enjoyed her work on this book and would love to hear her narrate another book in the future.   

  This was a five-star, nostalgia-driven book that delighted me for several hours. I am happy to see a series so dear to my heart finally getting the proper wrap-up it deserved. This should make any "Peaks Freak" very happy.   

  Have fun reading this week. Let me know in the comments below what you are reading this week.
