Eliza Reid is a bestselling writer, public speaker, gender equality advocate, and cofounder of the acclaimed Iceland Writers Retreat. She was born and raised in Canada but has lived in Iceland for over twenty years. Her first book, Secrets of the Sprakkar: Iceland's Extraordinary Women and How They Are Changing the World, was an instant bestseller in Canada and Iceland, a New York Times Book Review Editors' Pick, and translated into numerous languages. Death of a Diplomat is the first of a series and has been optioned for television. From 2016 to 2024, Eliza served in the unofficial role of First Lady while her husband was President of Iceland, an adventure which greatly informed the writing of this book. A memoir of her time in the position is set for publication in 2026. Eliza lives in the outskirts of Reykjavik with her husband and four children. This is her first novel.
A fresh, transporting, emotionally involving suspense debut -- AJ FINN, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window and End of Story An intriguing mystery, an exotic setting, and a Christie vibe-what's not to love? -- Shari Lapena, internationally bestselling author of What Have You Done? I loved this book. Eliza Reid is so assured in her plot, her characters that it's hard to believe this is her first novel. Death of a Diplomat is compulsive and propulsive reading. Not only wonderfully evocative of a little known area of Iceland, it is also surprising, with twists even a seasoned crime reader won't see coming. A brilliant debut, that promises more to come. -- LOUISE PENNY, author of the Inspector Gamache series An addictive and edgy murder mystery with wonderfully quirky characters and razor-sharp dialogue. You'll turn the pages faster than you ever thought possible. -- Jann Arden, bestselling author of The Bittlemores
