A literary phenomenonOnce again,Dicker brilliantly combines all the elements that first enticed his legions of readersImmense and detailed...The backstory is all-consuming and will not let you skip a single paragraphJol Dicker really knows how to tell a great storyThe Dicker who wrote The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair was a magician,a juggler.
