Twin Peaks: The Final Dossier
by Mark Frost
More satisfying than The Secret History, if only because it is entirely concerned with familiar Twin Peaks faces and not retro-fitting historical UFO lore with a TP connection. Fills in some blanks between the two series (Where's Donna? What kept Ed and Norma from getting together during the intervening 25 years?) and fixes some discrepancies created by the Secret History (why did SH say Norma's mom died in the early 80s when she showed up in the original series? Did Annie get written out of the narrative altogether?) but creates at least one new one (Annie was born in 1973 per the Final Dossier, but is in her early 20s in the original series, set in 1989). An autopsy performed by Albert in 1989 (I won't say whose) is filled with anachronistic language like "trigger warning" and "craft brewery" (or did Albert also spend some time "unstuck in time"?).
Your big questions from the new series (what's up with Audrey? what's the deal with the final episode?) are not authoritatively answered here, but you will receive some gentle nudging towards Frost's preferred reading of events.
In all, a pleasing - if very brief (Goodreads suggests this is 176 pages, as a librarian I catalogued it at 137, with a small handful of unnumbered pages) - final(?) glance at this universe for fans, though as with the Secret History calling it a "novel" is a bit charitable.
