1 post | 3 read | 1 to read
After a messy divorce, attractive young mother Sonia is struggling to provide for herself and keep custody of her son. With her back to the wall, she resorts to smuggling cocaine into Iceland, and finds herself caught up in a ruthless criminal world. As she desperately looks for a way out of trouble, she must pit her wits against her nemesis, Bragi, a customs officer, whose years of experience frustrate her new and evermore daring strategies. Things become even more complicated when Sonia embarks on a relationship with a woman, Agla. Once a high-level bank executive, Agla is currently being prosecuted in the aftermath the Icelandic financial crash. Set in a Reykjavík still covered in the dust of the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption, and with a dark, fast-paced and chilling plot and intriguing characters, Snare is an outstandingly original and sexy Nordic crime thriller.

Refreshing crime novel set in Iceland with a strong woman protagonist. Sonja is a successful drug smuggler but ensnared by a criminal web and wants to escape. Her girlfriend Agla has her own troubles, as does the customs official pursuing her. Clever & surprising, I liked the matter-of-fact tone, sense of place & flawed characters. I‘ve heard her work described as mix of Nordic Noir & Mexican Telenovela - a fun read.
