Now in its third year, the Iceland Noir is a festival celebrating all things crime fiction and took place this weekend. 1 in 10 Icelanders have written a book, and some of the most famous Icelandic authors are crime writers- from Ragnar Jonasson to Yrsa Sigurdardottir. There were loads of authors from all over who gave talks and readings so it's the place to be for all aspiring thriller authors and fans of the series!

From all of us at All Iceland: see you for Iceland Noir 2018!
