Who killed Nola Kellergan is the big mystery to be unravelled in this incomparable detective story, whose reading experience defies any attempt at description.

Let's try:

A three-time suspense novel -1975, 1998 and 2008- about the murder of a fifteen-year-old girl in the small town of Aurora, New Hampshire.

In 2008, Marcus Goldman, a young writer, visits his mentor -Harry Quebert, author of an acclaimed novel- and discovers that he had a secret relationship with Nola Kellergan. Shortly after, Harry is arrested and accused of murder when Nola Kellergan's body is found buried in his garden.

Marcus begins to investigate and write a book about the case. As he tries to prove Harry's innocence, a web of secrets comes to light. The truth only comes at the end of a long, intricate and exciting journey.

Critics have said...
«The furore aroused by the very young Dicker and his masterful novel is a real furore, because we are faced with the great thriller that everyone had been waiting for since Larsson's Millennium, with a Napoleonic voice, that doesn't write, it boxes»
Laura Fernández, El Cultural de El Mundo

«There is something fantastic in the cinematic precision with which the narrator, young Markus Goldman, transcribes what happened 33 years ago... Joël Dicker's novel belongs to that type of literature that generates literature, that is, that invites you to continue inventing novels».
Justo Navarro, Babelia

«This novel will be applauded and studied in writing workshops. A model thriller, with the solvency of Larsson... Read this book».
Enrique de Hériz, El Periódico de Catalunya

«"Everyone was talking about the book." This is the first sentence of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair: a self-fulfilling prophecy, as Joël Dicker's book has already become a global phenomenon».
