For books set in Iceland  – why not travel via books set there! – BOOKTRAIL IT TO ICELAND HERE

It’s the cool and chilly landscape that really thrills and is why perhaps it’s the perfect setting for crime fiction. There’s also the sense of claustrophobia since compared to most other countries, it’s relatively small and the cities are not the metropolises that you find elsewhere. There are more remote and icy areas cut off from the rest of the country where only fisherman dare to go…and for all of those reasons and more, Iceland is  a particularly chilly and apt place to explore through crime fiction!

 

Authors who set their books in Iceland include:

Quentin Bates

Lilja Sigurdardóttir

Yrsa Sigurdardottir

Ragnar Jónasson

 

With huge thanks to the lovely people at  Iceland Noir and Storytel Iceland for this fantastic and unique prize!

Iceland Noir – A two day festival from November 17 – 18th 2018 which celebrates the best of crime fiction from Icelandic authors but also those from around the world. All in one place and on some great panels!
