About the Book

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?



About the Author :
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.

Review :
A fabulous premise and a dark female protagonist... A lovely slice of icy winter chill As the narrative delves into the history of the couple's relationship, fascinating psychological portraits of them both emerge... Original and intriguing A strange, haunting tale A good psychological thriller for fans of Ruth Ware's The Lying Game and Alice Feeney's Sometimes I Lie A truly unusual crime novel which kept me reading until the very end. The integrity of all the main characters is questioned throughout the story so the reader has to tackle some moral questions as the plot unravels. highly enjoyable So gripping I simply couldn't put it down. An atmospheric and original story with an ending I did not see coming Well-crafted, very intriguing, and the end is a brilliant surprise The questions in this novel are many, as are the twists and turns and memories. ONE TRUE WORD is a psychological thriller that delves into the soul and mind of the protagonist, a thriller that I recommend without a shadow of a doubt! A hypnotic, disturbing novel with more to it than meets the eye at first glance. Between flashbacks and twists and turns, the perfect exploration of a mind on the edge, where systematic lying coincides with Júlía's way of being in the world. A protagonist and a story that are not easily forgotten Brilliant, compelling, exciting, breathtaking, well-written, well-thought-out: Formidable
