About this listen
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 15-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 protégé - throws off his writer's block to clear his mentor's name. Solving the case and penning a new best seller 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.

An amazing story that left you guessing.
Wow, what can I say that will do this book justice. It's an amazing storyline with all many twists, turns and plots that it grips you by the heart and won't let you go.
Harry Quebert, 35yrs old and a famous writer, falls in love with a beautiful blond 15yr old girl, No la Kellergan. Their friendship and fondness for each other must be kept a secret from their small seaside town community, Summerset.
On 30th August, Nola and Harry plan to meet at the Seaside Motel and run away together, to live happily ever after. But Nola never makes it to meet Harry. That same afternoon, she is seen running through the forest followed by a man. She runs into an old lady's house covered in blood all o er her face and covered in scratches. But the old lady is shot dead and Nola disappears forever, that is until her body is found in Harry's back yard 35yrs later.
This story is an account of everyone in Summerset, who knew Nola and how Marcus Goldberg sets out to clear Harry from being accused of her murder.

Very good.
Brilliant! A complex Web of thoughts. I loved the twists and turns easy to follow but thrilling. The voice performance was perfect for the story.

Really enjoyed this book. Epilogue is a true reflection of how the reader feels at the end of the story.
Excellent narration. Very good plot. Keeps you thinking and on your toes to keep up! Great characters, particularly the star of the show. Highly recommended.

As many twists and turns as a trip through the Alps
There were some great messages, plot lines and characters in this, and I did like where the story ended up, but it felt like there were way more twists and turns in there than really served the story. It felt dragged out and some of the plot twists and character's stories felt like they were over the top, they didn't help the story and were trying too hard.
I really struggled with the narration, it let the story down for me. The narration has the job of conveying the energy and emotion behind the words on the page, and when I listened to the words and the way they were being narrated, they so often missed the mark. It was disappointing and often distracting.
