Reviews

A literary phenomenon
Astrid de Larminat, Figaro
Veers between nostalgia for what could have been and regrets for what can never be. Captivating and beautifully conceived
Pascale Frey, Elle
Once again, Dicker brilliantly combines all the elements that first enticed his legions of readers
Julie Malaure, Le Point
Joël Dicker really knows how to tell a great story
Stéphanie des Horts, Valeurs Actuelles
The Dicker who wrote The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair was a magician, a juggler. The Dicker of The Baltimore Boys has no need of such tricks. He is not just a good writer, he is a great writer
Antonio d’Orrico, Corriere della Serra
A titan of a novel. Nabokovian. Highly recommended
Laura Fernández, El Cultural de El Mundo
A new masterstroke from Joël Dicker. The ace up his sleeve
Pierre-Yves Grenu, Culturebox
My goodness, this Joël Dicker can really spin a yarn
Marianne Grosjean, Tribune de Genève
Really compelling. A multi-layered family saga that behaves like a thriller
Frankfurter Neue Presse
A novel with the power to enthral its readers and whose characters will remain fixed in your memory
ORF
A top-class literary thriller that smoothly outclasses its rivals
Melissa Katsoulis, The Times on The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair
It's like 'Twin Peaks' meets Atonement meets In Cold Blood - the French thriller everyone is talking about
Gaby Wood, Daily Telegraph on The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair
An expertly realised, addictive Russian doll of a whodunit
Fanny Blake, Daily Mail on The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair
The book of the year
Simon Mayo on The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair
Sweeping, clever, heartbreaking and memorable. The perfect summer read
Henrietta Richman, Grazia
A striking insight into America's weird class system, and a moving story of brotherhood and family rivalry
Melissa Katsoulis, The Times
Immense and detailed . . . The backstory is all-consuming and will not let you skip a single paragraph
Rachael Revesz, Independent
