Reviews
A literary phenomenon
Veers between nostalgia for what could have been and regrets for what can never be. Captivating and beautifully conceived
Once again, Dicker brilliantly combines all the elements that first enticed his legions of readers
Joël Dicker really knows how to tell a great story
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
A titan of a novel. Nabokovian. Highly recommended
A new masterstroke from Joël Dicker. The ace up his sleeve
My goodness, this Joël Dicker can really spin a yarn
Really compelling. A multi-layered family saga that behaves like a thriller
A novel with the power to enthral its readers and whose characters will remain fixed in your memory
A top-class literary thriller that smoothly outclasses its rivals
It's like 'Twin Peaks' meets Atonement meets In Cold Blood - the French thriller everyone is talking about
An expertly realised, addictive Russian doll of a whodunit
The book of the year
Sweeping, clever, heartbreaking and memorable. The perfect summer read
A striking insight into America's weird class system, and a moving
story of brotherhood and family rivalry
Immense and detailed . . . The backstory is all-consuming and will not let you skip a single paragraph
