Following in the tradition of classic locked-room mysteries à la Agatha Christie, the novel delivers plenty of twists and turns — complete with murder, tangled romances, and unexpected alliances.
Our conversation also explores Iceland’s unique culture. With a population of under 400,000, the country consistently ranks among the world’s happiest — a fact Eliza attributes to the resilience and creativity of its people. Raised in Canada and now deeply rooted in Icelandic life, she offers fascinating insights into what makes Iceland — and its fiction — so compelling.
It was a lively and enjoyable conversation, and I’m confident you’ll enjoy Death on the Island as much as I did.
