A CRIME STORY. A LOVE STORY. A WORLDWIDE PHENOMENON. MORE THAN 2 MILLION COPIES SOLD
"It's that most engaging of treats, a big, fat, intelligent thriller" SIMON MAYO
"It's a terrific story and I'm loving it" PHILIP SCHOFIELD
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 made him a household name. 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.
Translated from the French by Sam Taylor

Love story
Brilliant idea if a bit convoluted in the way the novel unravels. Confusing at times but always kept my attention

Heart wrenchingly great
I was unable to put this down from the moment I started reading. On one hand a gripping investigation into a murder, and on the other an emotional exploration of people and relationships. One of the best books I've read in a long time and one of the few that has left a lasting impression.

Gripping!!
Loved the parallel stories that came together to make this such a good read. The constant red herrings, twists and turns meant I was kept on the edge of my seat throughout. Really enjoyable.
