A Wall Street Journal “Best Mystery of 2022”
A September 2022 Amazon Best of the Month Pick
“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. (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. And me? I’ll be reading it again.”—A. J. Finn, #1 New York Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window
“[The Enigma of Room 622 is an] exhilarating tour de force”–The Wall Street Journal
A burnt-out writer’s retreat at a fancy Swiss hotel is interrupted by a murder mystery in this metafictional, meticulously crafted whodunit from the New York Times bestselling author of The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair.
A writer named Joël, Switzerland’s most prominent novelist, flees to the Hôtel de Verbier, a luxury resort in the Swiss Alps. Disheartened over a recent breakup and his longtime publisher’s death, Joël hopes to rest. However, his plans quickly go awry. It all starts with a seemingly innocuous detail: at the Verbier, there is no room 622.
Before long, Joël and fellow guest Scarlett uncover a long-unsolved murder that transpired in the hotel’s room 622. The attendant circumstances: the succession of Switzerland’s largest private bank, a mysterious counterintelligence operation called P-30, and a most disreputable sabotage of hotel hospitality. A European phenomenon, The Enigma of Room 622 is a matryoshka doll of intrigue–as precise as a Swiss watch–and Dicker’s most diabolically addictive thriller yet.

troppa tecnica
Il libro è indubbiamente bello, scritto con maestria, invoglia a leggerlo, i personaggi sono ben caratterizzati e la storia è avvincente. Questa volta però lâautore sembra vittima di eccessivo autocompiacimento, si lancia un una storia continuamente spezzettata fra periodi e personaggi diversi, il che rende la narrativa poco fluida e alla fine stancante. Avrei dato tre stelle, ho aggiunto la quarta perché comunque è un gran lavoro.

un poâ deludente
Il meno riuscito dei suoi romanzi. Un giallo con poco carattere e poco introspettivo. Peccato perché sono un suo fan

Surreale e come sempre inutilm prolisso
Dicker sa farsi leggere perché scrive facile ma qui ha oltrepassato il limite della credibilità con quella storia delle maschere.

This book is an absolute amazing read. There are so many surprises along the way and so many characters we are following at once, I was never bored. Iâm not a reader but I would become one if I found more books like this.

Rien à redire sur la livraison mais le livre est arrivé en mauvais état

Het boek begint goed genoeg, maar verdrinkt al snel in de ongeloofwaardigheid van de personages. Het boek wisselt hoofdstukjes in het heden af met flashbacks. Er wordt iets verteld dat een link met het verleden heeft en onmiddellijk daarna krijg je een flashback die de link uitlegt. Het heen en weer springen tussen heden en verleden stoort me niet op zich, maar het wordt een soort standaard truuk die wel vermoeiend is.Het is vooral het bizarre gedrag van de personages zelf dat me doet afhaken …
