In Person: Murder by the Book

The title this month is Reykjavík: A Crime Story by Ragnar Jónasson, Katrín Jakobsdóttir.

In 1956, fourteen-year-old Lára spends the summer working for a couple on the small island of Videy, just off the coast of Reykjavík. In early August, the girl disappears without a trace. The mystery becomes Iceland‘s most infamous unsolved case. Thirty years later, journalist Valur Robertsson begins his own investigation and it soon becomes clear that Lára’s disappearance is a mystery that someone will stop at nothing to keep unsolved.
