Riassunto

The Sunday Times top crime read of the year.

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.

Recensione

The Icelandic queen of Nordic Noir, Yrsa Sigurdardottir's writing manages to be both spare but sinister. Expect goosebumps to sprout while reading this tale of murder, abuse and other worldly shenanigans in rural Iceland. (Red Magazine on THE UNDESIRED)

The stories share an underlying menace that is at once disturbing and compelling. (Daily Mail on THE UNDESIRED)

Yrsa Sigurdardottir's chillers get better and better. I REMEMBER YOU is a truly creepy combination of haunted house story and modern detection in Iceland. (Sunday Telegraph)

. . . A chiller-thriller of immense scariness . . . Not to be read alone after dark. (The Times on I REMEMBER YOU)

Expertly woven together, with plenty of cliffhangers and perfect control of the macabre mood: intriguing, entertaining, and very spooky indeed. (Laura Wilson, Guardian on I REMEMBER YOU)

Genuinely bone-chilling, and proves that as well as being the queen of Icelandic crime fiction, Sigurdardottir is a supreme generator of fear . . . (she) is clearly relishing the business of scaring our pants off. (Independent on I REMEMBER YOU)

Sigurdardottir intertwines these plotlines brilliantly and the two creepy strands gradually tighten together to really give the reader the heebie-jeebies. The author comes from a crime and thriller background and you can tell: there are cliff-hangers at the end of almost every chapter and she expertly ramps up the feeling of dread as the plot accelerates and all in the book find themselves in mortal danger. (Big Issue on I REMEMBER YOU)

A chilling read, perfect for a dark night. (Daily Express on I REMEMBER YOU)

A chilling read, enhanced by Sigurdardottir's taut plotting, realistic characters, and dry humour (Metro Books of the Year on ASHES TO DUST)

..a grisly chiller set in the depths of winter... It's an accomplished debut. (Sunday Telegraph on LAST RITUALS)
