The no.1 icelandic bestseller!
'So gripping I simply couldn't put it down' Eva Björg Ægisdóttir, author of The Creak on the Stairs
'A truly unusual crime novel which kept me reading until the very end... highly enjoyable' Katrín Jakobsdóttir, former Icelandic Prime Minister and author of Reykjavik: A Crime Story
Why did she do it?
After a day of simmering tension on a trip to an uninhabited island, Júlia snaps and leaves her husband Gíó marooned in the middle of a freezing fjord in the depths of the Icelandic winter, with night drawing in.
When she regrets her decision and returns, he is nowhere to be found. The police launch a manhunt, but soon their suspicion falls on his wife. She spins them a story to hide her involvement, but she can feel the net closing in.Is Gíó alive or dead? In hiding or hunting her down? And can Júlia get to the truth before it destroys her?
Well-known to Icelandic audiences as a children's author, award-winning translator, and a prominent publisher both in Iceland and abroad, author Snæbjörn Arngrímsson has written three mystery novels for young readers. One True Word is his first thriller.
