Le Livre des Baltimore
Le Livre des Baltimore | Joël Dicker
Joël Dicker Le Livre des Baltimore Jusqu’au jour du Drame, il y avait deux familles Goldman. Les Goldman-de-Baltimore et les Goldman-de-Montclair. Les Goldman-de-Montclair, dont est issu Marcus Goldman, l’auteur de La Vérité sur l’Affaire Harry Quebert, sont une famille de la classe moyenne, habitant une petite maison à Montclair, dans le New Jersey. Les Goldman-de-Baltimore sont une famille prospère à qui tout sourit, vivant dans une luxueuse maison d’une banlieue riche de Baltimore, à qui Marcus vouait une admiration sans borne. Huit ans après le Drame, c’est l’histoire de sa famille que Marcus Goldman décide cette fois de raconter, lorsqu’en février 2012 il quitte l’hiver new-yorkais pour la chaleur tropicale de Boca Raton, en Floride, où il vient s’atteler à son prochain roman. Au gré des souvenirs de sa jeunesse, Marcus revient sur la vie et le destin des Goldman-de-Baltimore et la fascination qu’il éprouva jadis pour cette famille de l’Amérique huppée, entre les vacances à Miami, la maison de vacances dans les Hamptons et les frasques dans les écoles privées. Mais les années passent et le vernis des Baltimore s’effrite à mesure que le Drame se profile. Jusqu’au jour où tout bascule. Et cette question qui hante Marcus depuis : qu’est-il vraiment arrivé aux Goldman-de-Baltimore? Joël Dicker est né à Genève en 1985. Son premier roman, Les Derniers Jours de nos pères, a reçu le Prix des écrivains genevois en 2010. Il a publié en 2012 La Vérité sur l’Affaire Harry Quebert, qui a obtenu successivement le Prix de la Vocation Bleustein-Blanchet, le Grand Prix du Roman de l’Académie française et le 25e Prix Goncourt des Lycéens.

Fantastic read, really good and well thought out storyline. The fluctuating time line makes it even more interesting as I was constantly trying to determine who was where and when!
I hope he's writing another. 😊😊😉

I spent a few days on vacation and this is the only book that I have been able to finished. It's okay as beach-read, but my expectations was to high, because I really liked his first book. Main character is the same as it is in the Harry Quebert Affair,but this time the story is focusing on family secrets and their consequences. Suspense is created with some 'cheap tricks' from mystery books and this is the reason why I don't like the story.â­ï¸â­ï¸â­ï¸

BarbaraBB Ah too bad that it wasn't as good as 7y
Simona @BarbaraBB I was the victim of high expectations based on the previous book and I didn't check the reviews before I started reading ... but I'm still curious about his future works 👠7y
batsy That's too bad. I have the first one and I'm looking forward to it, glad to hear you liked that 👠7y

ErikasMindfulShelf Too bad it wasn't as good. I've been wanting to read it because I loved (edited) 7y
Simona @batsy @irre Don't be distracted by my personal disappointment, it's very readable! 7y
SaraFair Love how you did this picture! 7y
ErikasMindfulShelf It doesn't seem like it's been published by a US publisher. Where did you buy it? 7y
Simona @SaraFair Thanks 😊 7y
Simona @irre I have Slovenian translation. I was wondering today, when I was browsing through reviews on GR, why they are so few in English ... I guess that's the reason. You can buy it on Book Depository https://www.bookdepository.com/The-Baltimore-Boys-Joel-Dicker-Alison-Anderson/97... 7y
ErikasMindfulShelf Thank you! 7y
llauraff I‘m with you .... I was the victim of high expectations too, but the book is very readable and at last I wanted to know how the writer closed the circle ..... (edited) 6y
Simona @llauraff Yes it‘s readable, and maybe I was to harsh, because of my disappointment... 6y

Congratulations to all readathoners and thanks to @24in48 for organizing this nice, fun #readathon weekendâ£ï¸

Jinjer What a cute scruffy puppy!!! 7y
SaraFair There's some terrier in that puppy! 7y
Simona @SaraFair Judging by her stubbornness and her 'hair style' - for sure! She is from animal shelter and they have found puppies (4 sisters and 1 brother) and they all looked different. 7y
SaraFair Could be different dads! A doggie dna test would be fun. 7y

#SnacksAndStacks for #24in48 #readathon
My current snack are fresh blueberries with dried cranberries and English tea with cream 😋 and I really want to finish with Dance with Dragons (still 250p to read) and I really want to start with the tagged book ... sweet bookish dilemmas 🤔

I'm finding it less engaging than the other one, even if I read 200 pages in one day. It's not a proper mystery, that's the thing, I think. In any case my breakfast will be great in this company.
