About this listen

A standalone thriller from the prizewinning queen of Nordic noir and author of the Thora Gudmundsdottir series.

A chilling thriller from the author of The Silence of the Sea, winner of the 2015 Petrona Award for best Scandinavian Crime Novel.

A journalist on the track of an old case attempts suicide. An ordinary couple return from a house swap in the states to find their home in disarray and their guests seemingly missing. Four strangers struggle to find shelter on a windswept spike of rock in the middle of a raging sea. They have one thing in common: they all lied. And someone is determined to punish them....

Why Did You Lie? is a terrifying tale of long-delayed retribution from Iceland's queen of suspense.

I would highly recommend this book, even though it has the most annoying ending I think I have ever read! But really, don't let that deter you. I've read most of Yrsa Sigurdardottir's work and this is among her best. The characters are compelling and the plot tortuously ( in an intriguing way) complex. It was a little hard to follow the timeline with the audio book, because I couldn't just look back and figure out what happened to whom and when, but it was an amazing read.

Fabulous book...annoying ending
