Vianočné pohľadnice je príbeh o manželskom páre, Natasha a Rob, ktorí sa na dovolenke vzdialia od seba. Keď sa ich dcére stratí obľúbená hračka, začne sa korešpondencia s cestovateľom Duffy, ktorý sa stal blížkym nie len pre dievčatko, ale aj pre Natashu. Keď však správy z hôr prestanú prichádzať, Natasha si uvedomuje, prečo Duffy potreboval talizman. Prvá polovica knihy je zbytočne rozťahaná, avšak druhá polovica prináša napätie a rozuzlenie príbehu.
