Es maravilloso. Nunca dejaré de alabar a Joel Dicker por su manera de escribir y relatar los thrillers. No podía dejar de leer y, como siempre, el final es totalmente inesperado y te deja boquiabierta. Top 2 libros de este autor después de la verdad sobre el caso de Harry Quebert. Sin duda recomendaría la saga completa. Es un honor tener la oportunidad de leerla.

Este es el primer libro que he leído de Joël Dicker y me ha sorprendido gratamente. Su forma de escribir desde tantas perspectivas permite disfrutar de la lectura desde las visiones de todos los personajes. Me ha gustado mucho también como ha sospechado de todos y cada uno de los personajes hasta desmontar sus tramas internas y la forma que tiene de mostrarnos los pensamientos diversos de cada personaje. Como último apunte me gustaría mencionar que en absoluto me esperaba el final y esta forma que ha tenido de desenmascarar al culpable pues era un personaje que ni me había planteado que podría ser pero lo ha hilado de forma muy coherente a decir verdad. Me ha encantado, estoy deseando leerme otro libro suyo.

Dire overall. Cartoonish and the author has no ear for dialogue and very clumsy at narrative. The book is almost a joke the way it ducks and dives and turns continually on itself in ludicrous ways The author includes reality with his previous books associated with the main character but it's awful. Like the author trying to be clever but ends up just infuriating. The author just seems to have little talent. Nothing makes sense in reality and it's hard not to laugh when he keeps unveiling revelation after revelation which contradict each other. It becomes tiresome and I started to speed read. There so many wonderful crime books by French authors such as Pierre Lemaitre. This is not one of them.

This is the third book in the “Marcus Goldman Series”. Joël Dicker really knows how to write a page turner full of twist and turns with ending that you will never predict.
I highly recommend this serious that was full of intelligent writing , interesting characters, and smart plot . Looking forward to book # 4 🙏🙏🙏

Excelente libro, te mantiene pegado de principio a fin sin tener idea del desenlace. Los giros de trama son una verdadera locura. Confirmo que el orden de la trilogia es: La verdad sobre el caso Harry Quebert, El caso Alaska Sanders y El Libro De los Baltimore.

What a read! I didn’t even clock it was a translation until I finished it, and having started the original the translator has done an incredible job!

A bloated narrative, flat dialogue, and the dreaded flashbacks within flashbacks. The identity of the murderer will no doubt surprise - and not in rewarding fashion.

alcuni colpi di scena sono un po' azzardati a mio parere, ma nel complesso rimane una piacevole lettura

Podia jurar de pé junto que o Caso Alaska Sanders era um caso verídico. O livro me prendeu desde as primeiras linhas e em quatro dias devorei o calhamaço de mais de 700 páginas. Maravilhoso!

This author is always 5 stars. He makes the most mundane interactions interesting and while this is the first time I had to consider suspending belief... it was only for the barest of minutes.

she was alright. Ik had meer verwacht omdat deel een zo fire was maar het was zeer matig. De plot twist aan het einde vond ik ook erg saai en te verwachten, jammer

I really appreciated the author’s writing style and the way he connected every detail. I wasn’t a huge fan of the ending, even though there were no loose ends.

Since the last book I read by this author disappointed me, especially because I had loved his previous ones, I feel like this book brought me back as a reader.

I’ve always had a soft spot for The Baltimore Boys, so the many little references and nods to it made the experience even more enjoyable for me.

The story is incredibly addictive. Despite the book’s length, I never really felt it, I just kept wanting to read more. The author really knows how to hook the reader and hold their attention from beginning to end.

On top of that, I didn’t see the plot twist coming at all. It completely caught me off guard.

“If you think you love this town, you’re mistaken, Writer. You love the memories you have of this place. Nostalgia is your problem. We convince ourselves that our past was happy and that our choices must’ve been the right ones. Whenever we think about the past and say to ourselves, ‘It was good,’ it’s just our sick brain distilling that nostalgia in order to persuade us that our past wasn’t in vain, that we didn’t waste our time. Because when you waste your time, you waste your life.”

"The problem with secrets is that we often forget about them ourselves. And one fine day they come back to the surface, like overflowing sewage."

"How does one repair a broken life? I still thought about my cousins, Woody and Hillel, and what had happened to them, and I concluded that we can’t really fix life; we can only rebuild it by giving it meaning."
