Review
Acclaim from Around the World for "The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair"
France
"If you dip your toes into this major novel, you're finished: you won't be able to keep from sprinting through to the last page. You will be manipulated, thrown off course, flabbergasted and amazed by the many twists and turns, red herrings and sudden changes of direction in this exuberant story.""--""Le Journal du Dimanche"
"A funny, intelligent, breathtaking book within a book . . . There is a real joy in discovering this extraordinary novel." --"Lire"
"A master stroke . . . A crime novel with not one plot line but many, full of shifting rhythms, changes of course and multiple layers that, like a Russian doll, slot together beautifully . . . In maestro form, Dicker alternates periods and genres (police reports, interviews, excerpts from novels) and explores America in all its excesses--media, literary, religious--all the while questioning the role of the literary writer.""--""L'Express"
"The success story of the literary season . . . An American thriller reminiscent of the best work of Truman Capote."--"Paris-Match"
"Dizzying, like the best American thrillers . . . Rich in subplots and twists, moving backwards and forwards in time, containing books within books." --"Le Figaro"
Italy
"After "The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, " the contemporary novel will no longer be the same. Verdict: summa cum laude. . . . A beautiful novel." --"Corriere della Sera"
"Narrative talent is about making a work of art out of life. Dicker has got it." --"Vanity Fair"
Germany
"A book within a book, a crime novel, a love story. Extraordinary." --"Cosmopolitan"
"Brilliantly narrated." --"Stern"
Switzerland
"A novel with all the ingredients of a global bestseller." --"Die Zeit"
Spain
"Never have I felt so compelled to recommend a book this highly. . . . I was mesmerized and fascinated long af

"Unimpeachably terrific . . . A playful, page-turning whodunit . . . If Norman Mailer had been accused of murder and Truman Capote had collaborated with Dominick Dunne on a tell-all about it, the result might have turned out something like this. Though I suspect this version may be funnier. . . . It's [Dicker's] light touch and engaging voice that make the writing so infectious, and will probably make it a best seller here as well." --Chelsea Cain, "The New York Times Book Review"
"I haven't had a suspense novel surprise me like this one in a long time. Joel Dicker is a bright new star of suspense, and he proves his serious chops with this utterly thrilling, delightfully twisted, continually shocking novel. I can't wait to read what he writes next!" --Lisa Gardner, #1 "New York Times "bestselling author of "Fear Nothing"
"A dazzling thriller--stunningly original and brilliantly plotted, down to the very last twists. It's a murder mystery, a literary puzzle, and a love story, all ingeniously woven into a masterly novel of suspense. Joel Dicker is an enormous talent, and this book is extraordinary." --Linda Fairstein, "New York Times" bestselling author of "Death Angel"
"Talk about a web of treason and danger: This one unfolds with a relentless sense of urgency and pulse-pounding escapades, entertaining at every turn. Absolutely
