ICELAND NOIR 2026 🇮🇸 I am SO thrilled to be returning to one of my favorite crime fiction festivals in one of my favorite places!!
Iceland Noir was the very first crime fiction festival I EVER attended, back in 2016 when this account was brand new and I knew… literally no one in the crime fiction community. It was my first solo trip abroad and honestly I was so nervous heading into it, but the festival welcomed me with such open arms and made me feel right at home! This festival will forever have such a special place in my heart, and I look forward to it every single year. And this year is EXTRA special because of the authors I get to interview at the festival!!👀
Swipe 👉🏻 for the events I’ll be moderating and participating in at this year’s Iceland Noir, including Guest of Honor interviews with two of my all-time favorites (Riley Sager + Lucy Foley🤯), plus an event all about dark Swedish suspense, AND a panel I get to appear on discussing Agatha Christie’s influence!
It’s going to be an incredible festival, and I can’t wait to take you along for the whole experience!!!🖤
Visit the @icelandnoir page to learn more. The countdown to Iceland Noir is on, and I can’t wait to be back in Reykjavik!🇮🇸

a dark + twisty thriller that hooked me on page one🤯🤌🏻
if you’re looking for a truly page-turning thriller that’s perfect for your winter to-read list, this is the book for you!!👇🏻
WHEN THEY FIND ME by Carter Wilson
available 11/10
WHEN THEY FIND ME turns a home invasion plot on hits head, imagining what might happen if someone showed up to a house ready to break in… only to discover that they’re at the wrong house, and the person inside THIS house has secrets of their own.
read WHEN THEY FIND ME if you love:
🏔️ isolated locations
❄️ chilling, wintry vibes
🤯 jaw dropping plot twists!!
💨 fast-paced + short chapters
Welcome to Expanse, Colorado: a town so remote, it barely exists on a map. For Annie and her daughter Coral, it’s the perfect place to hide, staying off the grid and out of the path of the people hunting her.
Meanwhile, Riven and her family have lived off the grid for years. Now, Riven’s father has led them to the tiny town of Expanse, tracking a man he swears destroyed their lives. Now it’s time to get revenge.
But when Riven knocks on Annie’s door by mistake, worlds collide, plunging both women into danger… because Annie has dark secrets of her own.👀
I absolutely TORE through this one. Set around Christmas with a blizzard descending, WHEN THEY FIND ME builds a palpable sense of tension and dread, leaning into its isolated and claustrophobic setting to turn the pressure up on its characters–characters who, it’s worth adding, have SOO many hidden secrets and motivations.👀
Short chapters keep the plot moving, and it all builds towards a shattering twist that changed everything I thought I knew about the story. I’ve been a fan of Carter’s thrillers for a long time, but I really think this is his best book yet. This one is worth adding to your TBR immediately!!!🤌🏻🤌🏻
Are you a Carter Wilson fan?! Is this one on your November wishlist?👀🖤
