A snobbish Danish literary author is challenged to write a crime novel in thirty days, travelling to a small village in Iceland for inspiration, and then a body appears ... an atmospheric, darkly funny, twisty debut thriller, first in an addictive new series.

An original and thoroughly enjoyable treat Guardian BOOK OF THE YEAR

Dark and sharp ... A lot of fun Val McDermid

Witty, dark, meta, ingenious and hugely compelling. I LOVED the Icelandic setting and satirical observations Will Dean

Hilariously scathing. Satirises genre fiction while creating a first-class example of it, full of suspects, red herrings and twists ... wit and originality make it a joy to read Mark Sanderson, The Times CRIME BOOK OF THE YEAR

**Winner of the Harald Mogensen Prize for Best Danish Crime Novel**

**Shortlisted for the Glass Key Award**

**Winner of the Crime Fiction Lover Award for Best Crime Book in Translation**

Copenhagen author Hannah is the darling of the literary community and her novels have achieved massive critical acclaim. But nobody actually reads them, and frustrated by writer s block, Hannah has the feeling that she s doing something wrong.

When she expresses her contempt for genre fiction, Hanna is publicly challenged to write a crime novel in thirty days. Scared that she will lose face, she accepts, and her editor sends her to Hú safjö ð ur - a quiet, tight-knit village in Iceland, filled with colourful local characters - for inspiration.

But two days after her arrival, the body of a fisherman s young son is pulled from the water ... and what begins as a search for plot material quickly turns into a messy and dangerous investigation that threatens to uncover secrets that put everything at risk ... including Hannah...

Atmospheric, dramatic and full of nerve-jangling twists and turns, Thirty Days of Darkness is a darkly funny, unsettling debut Nordic Noir thriller that marks the start of a breath-taking new series.

Dark and atmospheric ... a bleak and beautiful evocation of Iceland, and Hannah is a pitch-perfect depiction of the bombastic neurosis that we writers know so very well Harriet Tyce

Such a clever, original twist on the Nordic Noir tradition - darkly humorous and utterly captivating Eva Bjö rg gisdó ttir

A fantastic debut ... Darkly funny, tense and a lot of poking fun at crime-writing Tariq Ashkanani

Delightfully dark Antti Tuomainen

So atmospheric Crime Monthly

An absolute gem ... a superb mix of humour and dark, twisty crime fiction with an added layer of contemplation regarding what makes books literary . The Icelandic setting is perfectly drawn ... Not to be missed Yrsa Sigurð ardó ttir

Shades of Fargo and Twin Peaks - and there s no higher praise than that. Absolutely brilliant! Rod Reynolds

A truly original thriller that perfectly balances humour and suspense Vogue

A hugely enjoyable read with thrills and laughs, as Hannah sticks her nose in where it s not welcome Michael J. Malone

So satisfying ... a truly great read Lilja Sigurð ardó ttir

A skilful, witty mash-up, playing with tropes of romantic fiction (yes, that popular genre writer turns up in the village and is not so bad after all) and crime fiction (closed community, dark secrets) ... really entertaining Aly Monroe

This reminded me somewhat of the more recent, meta efforts of the great Anthony Horowitz The Bookbag

The most original thriller of the year: realistic, suspenseful and romantic to the very last page. And just when you think you ve got the plot figured out, the plot twists again Politiken
