If you had to choose a new location for a Crime series, where would you look? Michael Ridpath had to do just that.
Entertaining and informative, it\'s a Guide to Iceland for the visitor, and a Guide to Crime Writing for the reader..
This is his account of researching the country: the breathtaking landscape, its vigorous if occasionally odd people, the great heroes and heroines of its sagas, and (of course) those troublesome elves; with a little bit thrown in about how to put together a good detective story.
He chose Iceland, a country of fjords, glaciers and volcanoes, of long, manic summer days and long, sinister winter evenings, a place where everyone is on Facebook and everyone\'s grandmother has spoken to an elf.
