Not just another writer writing about a writer writing about a murder mystery.
Are the twists 100% realistic? Perhaps not, but so satisfying to find out nonetheless.

In the last chapters I was honestly fully prepared to find out everyone who ever showed up in this book was just Lev and Lev only.jowest12's review against another edition

It read like a movie script and should have been edited for length. I liked the ending remarks on life but didn't love the endings for the characters.

L’enigma della camera 622 è il secondo romanzo di Joel Dicker che leggo. Ho ritrovato il suo stile non colloquiale, ma comunque con un lessico molto semplice e alla mano e il suo modo di strutturare i romanzi: anche questa volta, infatti, la trama si alterna tra le vicende dell’attuale 2018 e quelle di quindici anni prima.
Apprezzo molto il modo in cui l’autore ci porta a scoprire la verità celata dietro alle vicende. Infatti, piano piano, ci vengono rivelate tutte le carte e grazie alle azioni dei diversi personaggi possiamo noi lettori in primis a farci un’idea del colpevole.
La trama, quindi, è molto intrigante e ti tiene incollata alle pagine.
I personaggi però non mi sono piaciuti appieno: Lev Levovitch l’ho trovato assolutamente fastidioso, il classico ragazzo che ha tutto dalla vita e che è perfetto sotto ogni punto di vista (e sicuramente la rivelazione finale non lo aiuta), la madre di Anastasia, Olga, è semplicemente odiosa (caratteristica che ho notato anche nelle madri presenti ne “la verità sul caso Harry Quebert”) e la stessa Anastasia, per quanto possa entrare in empatia con lei e comprendere, fino a un certo punto, il motivo che l’ha spinta ad agire in un certo modo, non lo condivido e mi ha fatto alquanto ribrezzo.
Ci sono stati anche personaggi che ho apprezzato, come Macaire Ebezner, uomo che dovrebbe avere tutto dalla vita in maniera molto semplice, ma che invece subisce di tutto e di più e che ha una fine amara. Un altro personaggio che ho apprezzato è Arma, la domestica di casa Ebezner, donna molto dolce e appassionata, mi ha fatto molta tenerezza.
In conclusione la lettura l’ho trovata estremamente piacevole e intrigante.

Holy schmokes - this bugger is long, a 16-hour audio book, full of twists, alternating timelines, and a handful of characters to keep track of. I was hooked through the first 4ish hours, hit a slow point by 12ish hours, but enjoyed the conclusion that took up the last 3ish hours. The narrator is awesome, but ultimately, this could have been shorter. I still really enjoyed it, though! It almost comes off in a screwball-type way. It's a little old timey, and some bits have Agatha Christie vibes. The timeline bounces a lot, so you do have to pay close attention, but the chapters do a good job of announcing the time period and I felt like the characters were memorable enough that I could keep track of who was doing what and when. The twists are pretty dang good - I started thinking one thing, then another thing, only to realize it was none of those things. I had no idea where the conclusion was headed. I'm not 100% sure I loved the ending, but it was entertaining and kept me engaged for the most part. Would probably be a good listen for a few long car rides!
