The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair by Joël Dicker
My rating: 4 of 5 stars
This was a really interesting book. I saw it at Trident Cafe and bought it on a whim.
The story is about a young author (Marcus) whose author mentor Harry Quebert is accused of murdering a young woman. Marcus, who is having difficulty writing the followup to his best-selling book, puts his life on hold to help Harry clear his name in a small town in New Hampshire.
I really enjoyed this book. It was a classic mystery - with Marcus, I was figuring out what happened, among a cast of quirky, colorful, odd characters. I kept being surprised by twists in the plot, and I kept wanting to know what would happen next. I liked how some of the story was told through a book Harry wrote, and some of the story was told through a book that Marcus wrote.
While I did find a few sections in the middle a little slow, overall this book kept my attention and I enjoyed it.
