No D, no V, but you're getting closer (one letter at a time )

With this letter, I guess you know who is it, don't you pdurrant? (or who it is, I'm confused)

[pdurrant]

No, I have no idea whom it is. At least, I have never heard of him before.

So this will go on a little more than I thought.
Who has a guess?

[Bilbo1967]

I could make a pretty good guess at the first two names, but the last name is a mystery to me. I'm afraid that I just haven't heard of this author

Despite the fact that the book club read one of his works last year?

Someone else needs to post a puzzle if I'm correct, but Carlos Ruiz Zafon?

Good job HomeInMyShoes
It was Carlos Ruiz Zafón, indeed.
He wrote two trilogies: the first one (Niebla) is in the Y.A. category and represents his early works; the second one (The Cemetery of Forgotten Books) is for more advanced readers and his style has improved. And finally, Marina is a stand alone Y.A. book.
The Shadow of the Wind is amongst my favourite books, so much that I decided to have read all of his books by the end of 2013 (with breaks in between so I started last year).

If you want to give it a try, The Rose of Fire (prequel of The Cemetery of Forgotten Books) used to be free, at least at Amazon and Kobo.

HomeInMyShoes, your turn now

I don't really participate in the book club other than to occasionally pop in to vote for whatever Jon is railing against
