As I write this, I’m sitting at Keflavik airport heading home from an amazing two weeks in Scandinavia which all revolved around the truly special crime fiction festival Iceland Noir. Iceland Noir 2021 took place from Wednesday, November 17 through Saturday, November 20 in downtown Reykjavik. This year’s festival marked my third time attending Iceland Noir, and I have to say, this was my favorite festival experience yet (and that’s really saying something—I’ve loved every Iceland Noir festival I’ve attended in the past!). In today’s blog post, I wanted to recap my experience at the festival, as well as share information and answer some frequently-asked questions for readers who might be curious about attending the festival in the future! Read on for an overview of my Iceland Noir 2021 experience, including a day-by-day recap of the festival, lots of photos, links to a bunch of book recommendations, frequently asked questions about the festival, and more information on Iceland Noir 2022!
