The Leaden Heart

&ldquo;A playful, page-turning whodunit . . . If Norman Mailer had been accused of murder and Truman Capote had collaborated with Dominick Dunne on a tell-all about it, the result might have turned out something like this. Though I suspect this version may be funnier. . . . It&rsquo;s [Dicker&rsquo;s] light touch and engaging voice that make the writing so infectious.&rdquo; &mdash;Chelsea Cain,&#160;The New York Times Book Review &ldquo;The great American crime novel . . . A breakneck thriller.&rdquo; &mdash;Details &ldquo;A terrific read . . . Entertaining . . . Cleverly constructed . . . It&rsquo;s compelling, challenging, sometimes even funny. The characters are finely drawn. . . . It keeps you, as they say of movies, &lsquo;on the edge of your seat.&rsquo; &rdquo; &mdash;The Huffington Post &ldquo;A wonderful, fun, and boisterous read, a book with an uncanny ability to both fascinate and amuse you. Twists and turns and oddball characters make this a rollicking bullet-train of a novel.&rdquo; &mdash;Amazon.com, Best Book of the Month &ldquo;I haven&rsquo;t had a suspense novel surprise me like this one in a long time. Jo&euml;l Dicker is a bright new star of suspense, and he proves his serious chops with this utterly thrilling, delightfully twisted, continually shocking novel. I can&rsquo;t wait to read what he writes next!&rdquo; &mdash;Lisa Gardner, #1&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;Fear Nothing &ldquo;A&#160;dazzling thriller&mdash;stunningly original and&#160;brilliantly plotted, down to the very last twists. It&rsquo;s a murder mystery,&#160;a literary puzzle, and a love story, all ingeniously woven into a masterly novel of suspense.&#160;Jo&euml;l Dicker is an enormous talent, and this book is extraordinary.&rdquo; &mdash;Linda Fairstein,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;Death Angel &#160; &ldquo;Talk about a web of treason and danger: This one unfolds with a relentless sense of urgency and pulse-pounding escapades, entertaining at every turn. Absolutely rousing.&rdquo; &mdash;Steve Berry,&#160;New York Times&#160;bestselling author of&#160;The King&rsquo;s Deception &ldquo;Planes, trains and automobiles: You&rsquo;ll see people reading this book everywhere. An amazing debut and wonderful summer read.&rdquo; &mdash;Michael Harvey, bestselling author of&#160;The Chicago Way &ldquo;Entertainingly pulled off . . . Enjoyable . . . It churns along at such a good clip and is rendered with such high emotion and apparent deep conviction that it&rsquo;s easy to see why it was a bestseller in Europe.&rdquo; &mdash;The Washington Post &ldquo;A highly entertaining mash-up of melodrama, metafiction and mystery [with] a slick page-turning plot.&rdquo; &mdash;Minneapolis Star Tribune &ldquo;Charmingly off-kilter . . . Sure-footed.&rdquo; &mdash;The Daily Beast &ldquo;[A] funny, plot-twisting mystery.&rdquo; &mdash;Women&rsquo;s Day,&#160;&ldquo;New Favorites from the&#160;Women&rsquo;s Day&#160;Staff&rdquo; &ldquo;Stunning . . . Fast-paced, tightly plotted . . . From page one, you&rsquo;ll be hooked on this fascinating mystery of love and deception.&rdquo; &mdash;National Examiner &#160; &ldquo;Smart and fun.&rdquo; &mdash;Houston Chronicle &#160; &ldquo;A clever, tightly plotted thriller with a comic edge.&rdquo; &mdash;Tampa Bay Times &ldquo;An ambitious, multilayered novel of suspense . . . This tale of fame, friendship, loyalty, and fiction versus reality moves at warp speed.&rdquo;&#160;&mdash;Publishers Weekly, starred review &ldquo;This sprawling, likable whodunit [is] obvious ballast for the summer&rsquo;s beach totes. . . . Dicker keeps the prose simple and the pace snappy in a plot that winds up with more twists than a Twizzler. . . . [An] entertaining debut thriller.&rdquo; &mdash;Kirkus Reviews &ldquo;Tantalizing . . . Compelling . . . There is a&#160;Twin Peaks&ndash;like fascination to the story of Nola Kellergan. . . . Readers are certain to be caught up in the ongoing drama of who killed Nola among the plethora of suspects.&rdquo; &mdash;Booklist
