  • Description
    A crime story. A love story. More than 2 million copies sold worldwide. And now a major 10-part MGM TV series starring Patrick Dempsey and Ben Schnetzer. 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 protege - 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. The film is directed by Jean-Jacques Annaud (Seven Years in Tibet) and released on 23 August on SkyWitness. The Baltimore Boys, a follow-up to the bestselling The Truth about the Harry Quebert Affair, is published in paperback.

    One in a thousand!

    I am not a crime and mystery reader. So when my friend suggested me this book, I had second thoughts investing my money into a genre I like the least. Thanks to flipkart for its prompt delivery. The story revolves around a writer who is accused of a murder and his dear student helps in solving the case for him. The characters are very simple and with each chapter you will want more to read. Every page is crafted in such a way that it leaves you with jaw dropping suspense. There are two very ...

    Pretty good

    Intriguing. I completed this book by reading 11 hours straight. I couldn't put this book down without completing. It's a new type of writing. It's a good read.

    Brilliant page-turner!

    The Truth about the Harry Quebert affair was an excellent read. The story was masterfully written and the reader doesn't have a clue until the last few pages. Definitely a must-read. Would surely check out the movie adaptation if there is one.

    A small town, a murder and a famous author....

    I really enjoyed this book. It had many twists and turns and the underlying premise of pedophilia was unsettling but handled very well. I later read some bad reviews of the book and am glad I hadn't read them earlier because it may have put me off reading it.

    Full of twists

    A very well written novel. It is huge but once you start you cannot put it down. And the surprises just keep coming. The protagonist comes across as a nice straightforward guy and that makes for relaxing reading.....unlike many of the narrators who are tortured souls or supremely complex characters.

    Suspense

    I ordered the book from Flipkart about 3 weeks back and got the delivery in about 3 days. Once you start reading the book you will get completely engrossed in the story. It is difficult to keep the book down till you finish reading it. You have to know what happened to the 16 year old girl or what actually is Harry Quebert hiding.
    The Suspense and the Drama is built very nicely and this definitely would make a hell of a movie...
    A note of caution this book has a slight tone of adult content.
