Years later, Joël Dicker, Switzerland’s novelist extraordinaire, arrives at the Verbier to recover from a bad breakup, mourn the death of his longtime publisher, and hopefully begin a new novel. Time passes, and without any breaks in the case, public interest wanes. An intense police investigation begins, yet few leads are found. One December night, a corpse is found in Room 622 of the Hotel Verbier, a luxury resort in the Swiss Alps. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window (We haven’t.) Fans of Ruth Ware and Lucy Foley will hug this book in between chapters the many readers who love Anthony Horowitz’s mysteries will celebrate. “Dicker salutes Agatha Christie even as he drops the reader through one trapdoor into another, so that by the end, we doubt we’ve ever read another novel quite like it. A burnt-out thriller writer desperate to regain his creative spark becomes intrigued by a decade-old unsolved murder at a glamorous Alpine hotel in this meticulously crafted novel-a matryoshka doll of a mystery built with the precision of a Swiss watch-from the internationally bestselling author of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair.
