Why Did You Lie? by Yrsa Sigurðardóttir, Yrsa Sigurðardóttir
5.0
An enigmatic title for a tense and twisty thriller!
Four people are dropped off to do maintenance work at an isolated lighthouse on top of a craggy rock. Within 24 hours one of them is missing. A family returns from a house swap vacation to find their house a mess and the visiting American couple nowhere to be found. A police officer, assigned to clearing out old files, finds a link to her husband in one of the files, possibly related to his attempted suicide.
On the face of it, these stories have no relation to each other, but the author weaves them together in a very skillful and memorable way. This is a unique and entertaining thriller. If you are a fan of Nordic thrillers, this is a must read.
