Icelandic writers


Some friends of ours are going to Iceland on holiday this year. This reminds me of a superb tour of the island that my family took several years ago. Easy to see why its writers are so inspired by such a beautiful place.

As a crime writer, it also interests me because Iceland loves its crime writing and its crime writers. 
It is one of the hotbeds of creative crime writing, helped by the winter darkness which allows writers to create a distinctive feel to their work.
It is a further reminder of the way surroundings influence writers.
