Girls Who Lie

"I wasn’t always so empty. In childhood, I experienced all emotions: anger, hatred, love, and sorrow. Apparently, I felt them in such quantity that there were simply none left. This feeling of numbness in body and soul is what drives me to commit acts that may seem repugnant to others. But I don’t care. It seems that all emotions have extinguished within me, except for the boiling, churning, blazing anger that I cannot quell." At first, the disappearance of single mother Marianna Thorsdottir does not pique the interest of the residents of Akranes. She struggled with depression, occasionally went on benders, and struggled to raise her daughter without the support of social workers... The police and witnesses agree that the woman left life voluntarily... But seven months later, her body is found with signs of violent death. Officer Elma and her colleagues take on a case that becomes increasingly complicated as the number of suspects grows and light is shed on Marianna's past... Will Elma be able to find the truth in the chorus of witness voices? In the chorus of voices of girls who lie?
