Lemony Snicket, The Beatrice Letters
Harper Collins (2006) ISBN: 0-06-058658-3
Score: 1
Another book of cryptic clues about A Series of Unfortunate Events. Not much actual content for the price, though the 3.5 pages of Lemony explaining how he loves Beatrice were quite interesting[1]. It does confirm Beatrice's full name (which was one of the anagrams in The Hostile Hospital), but it also claims there are two people with that name. At least, Lemony writes a letter to his editor claiming that; I suspect Beatrice lost her memory in some event (likely shown in The End) that convinced Lemony she was dead.
[1] "I will love you as the iceberg loves the ship, and the passengers love the lifeboat, and the lifeboat loves the teeth of the sperm whale, and the sperm whale loves the flavor of naval uniforms."
