The Enigma of Room 622 – Joël Dicker (Ukrainian Hardcover)

The Enigma of Room 622 by Joël Dicker is a mesmerizing crime novel that blends suspense, literary intrigue, and emotional resonance. The story begins with a mysterious murder discovered one chilly December morning in Room 622 of a luxurious Swiss Alps hotel—an unsolved case that time nearly erased. Years later, author Joël Dicker retreats to the same hotel to recover from a painful breakup, only to be drawn into the cold case himself. Accompanying him on this fraught investigation is Scarlett, a novice writer in the adjacent room, both helping unravel the past and shape the next novel.

Dicker layers the narrative with a rich cast—Macaire, the bank heir whose succession becomes entangled with dark motives; perception is manipulated with precision; power, jealousy, and identity weave a complex intrigue. Set like a Swiss watch in its structure, the plot unfolds with nested revelations and emotional depth that continually surprise.
