About this listen
August 30, 1975. The day of the disappearance. The day Somerset, New Hampshire, lost its innocence. That summer, struggling author Harry Quebert fell in love with fifteen-year-old Nola Kellergan. Thirty-three years later, her body is dug up from his yard, along with a manuscript copy of the novel that secured his lasting fame. Quebert is the only suspect.
Marcus Goldman—Quebert’s most gifted protégé - throws off his writer’s block to clear his mentor’s name. Solving the case and penning a new bestseller soon merge into one. As his book begins to take on a life of its own, the nation is gripped by the mystery of The Girl Who Touched the Heart of America. But with Nola, in death as in life, nothing is ever as it seems.

Amazing interpretation
Robert Slade is an amazing reader and interpreter. He was able to clearly differentiate each character by changing accent, pace, intonation, and pitch.
Joel Dicker is a great writer. I loved the novel, its intricate mysteries, the constant re-elaboration of facts, and the numerous plot twists, all the way through the end. A book within a book within a book. I was so sorry the book ended. A truly great and entertaining book.

Lots of twists but hokey as hell
It is hard to know if this book is trying to be a serious piece of literature, a thriller or farcical melodrama. Too long and in a desperate need of an editor. Best approach is to not take it seriously, then it is half enjoyable. Disappointing

A beautifully crafted crime-thriller!
What did you love best about The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair?
I thought that the narrator, Robert Slade, did a great job of the characters, giving them life and nuance.
Who was your favorite character and why?
My favourite character was Galloway, a gruff detective who hates Goldman at the start but deep down is looking for justice
Which scene was your favorite?
The scene where Galloway befriends the narrator.
If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?
A small town can only have so many secrets.

That s what I call bad writing
Bad, bad, really bad!!
Sometimes it just hurts to keep on reading. The worst of all, the parts with the mother of the character.
