Books Set in the United States: New Hampshire

The Truth About the Harry Quebert Affair, by Joel Dicker (2012)

I just loved, loved, loved this novel.  It is a mystery/thriller with so many twists and turns.

What really happened to 15-year old Nola Kellergan on August 30, 1975?  And how is the writer Harry Quebert involved in her disappearance?

Thirty-three years after Nola's disappearance, up-and-coming young writer Marcus Goldman visited the quiet little town of Somerset, New Hampshire to get inspiration from his mentor, Harry Quebert.  Marcus' hope for quiet inspiration, however, are interrupted when Nola's body is found buried in the garden on Quebert's property and Quebert is accused of her murder.

There are so many interesting characters living in this small New Hampshire town, each with an interest in keeping Nola's murder unsolved.  I couldn't put this book down!
