The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair (TAHQ) is a debut novel by Joel Dicker. If you like mystery, particularly crime dramas, then this book is for you. TAHQ is quite a lengthy tome. It, quite honestly, could have been shortened down to half the length. It dragged at parts, but the plot was always intriguing enough to keep you going. The author was clearly not an American; I mention this because there are instances in the book that would not occur because of our judicial policies and procedures and stick out like a sore thumb at times. If these sorts of divorces from reality do not alter your suspension of disbelief, then you will be all right. If implausibility in reality bothers you, I would steer clear of the novel. While there were a few flaws with TAHQ, I would recommend the title overall. The writing was well done, and the plot was very engaging. Once you get to the last hundred pages, you won't be able to put the book down. A great read for those who like twists and turns!
