First in the Reykjavik Noir Trilogy.
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 ever more 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 of the Icelandic financial crash.
Set in a Reykjavík still covered in the dust of the Eyjafjallajökull volcanic eruption, with a dark, fast-paced and chilling plot and intriguing characters, Snare is an outstandingly original and sexy Nordic crime thriller from one of the most exciting new names in crime fiction.
'The Nordic crime wave just keeps coming … The eponymous "snare" here is a Hydra-headed monster: Sonia is caught in a criminal, financial (embodying her country's recent financial crash) and even a sexual snare – her new lover Agla is not at ease with their relationship, constantly claiming that she is really straight. Sigurðardóttir avoids inviting easy sympathy for any of her characters, even the beleaguered Sonia, but she keeps us reading.'
The Guardian
'Snare is a smart, ambitious, and hugely satisfying thriller, striking in its originality and written with all the style and poise of an old hand. Lilja is destined for Scandi super stardom.'
