Eliza Reid, First Lady of Iceland, has announced on her personal Instagram that she has written a new book.
According to the post, the new book is called Death Of A Diplomat and is “a classic, closed room, British-style murder mystery that is set in Iceland (the Westman Islands more specifically) — and with a strong female protagonist of course.”

The book will be published in the UK by Sphere (Little, Brown), the US by Sourcebooks and Canada by Simon & Schuster in early 2025. Death Of A Diplomat is the first of a series.
In 2021, Eliza Reid published a book that features a series of personal stories of Icelandic women and their struggle for equality, called Secrets Of The Sprakkar.
