Reykjavik: A Crime Story by Ragnar Jonasson & Iceland’s PM, Katrin Jakobsdottir is an excellent Nordic Noir thriller that should go on every crime lover’s TBR list! 

I loved this story of Lara, a teenager who goes missing from the tiny island of Videy. The story spans three decades as the investigation goes from a police investigation to a cold case being investigated by a journalist. The book highlights important moments in Iceland history, as well as the issue of government corruption. 

Thank you @minotaur_books and @netgalley for allowing me to read this book ahead of publication in exchange for my honest review.
