Reviews for Why Did You Lie?
Three separate stories are gradually and skilfully merged together and bring this readable, enjoyable thriller to a melodramatic finish
Literary Review
A masterpiece of plotting and suspense
I Paper
Spine-chilling... keeps us on the edge of our seats
Independent
Other crime writers might as well give up now. In her new novel, Icelandic author Yrsa Sigurdardottir has found the single most terrifying place on earth to be stuck in the middle of a murder mystery...taut and compelling
Crime Scene Magazine
Iceland's outstanding crime novelist is spoiling us in her latest offering, with three juicy storylines for the price of one... I doubt many readers will guess what in the blue blazes can possibly connect these three mysteries before all is revealed, but I'm sure all will revel in the customary Sigurdardottir mixture of creepy atmospherics and sardonic humour. She is a treasure.
Daily Express
A tour de force... Sigurdardottir handles the different plot strands brilliantly, bringing them together in an unforgettable climax.
