Making the most of the winter sun again. Great story set in one of my happy places, Iceland. I think I‘ve read others of hers. This did not disappoint. A clever plot and very well written characters . In days gone by I would have had it as a plane read. Perfect for the long journeys we have to take to get anywhere. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

3.5 Stars • REYKJAVIK is a crime novel co-written by Icelandic Prime Minister Katrín Jakobsdóttir and acclaimed author Ragnar Jónasson. Set in Iceland, the story follows the mysterious disappearance of a young girl named Lára Marteinsdóttir in 1956. Thirty years later, journalist Valur Robertsson begins investigating the case. This book is a slow-burning, spellbinding whodunit, with Agatha Christie's influence evident throughout.

Valur grabbed the telephone directory and started running through the A's for Arnfrídur .. . first in Reykjavík, then systematically around the country, by postcode.

After trawling through for some time, he established to his satisfaction that there were only two women called Arnfridur Leifsdóttir currently living in Iceland.

Rather startling reminder of how small Iceland is!

The plot was quite captivating but the language was really simplistic. I wonder if it‘s the actual text or if this is a bad translation. Either way, I had no idea one of the authors is the Icelandic prime minister so that was fun.
