'The crime elements of the novel are tinged with danger so there are thrills but Stella the author mischievously plays with tropes, subverting them to great effect, which makes for a more subtle and enduring read. Put simply this is just great fun!' Thank you, Paul, we think so too!

If Jón Atli Jónasson's startlingly fresh take on Nordic Noir hit the spot, then this sequel isn't going to disappoint... We're at work on Toxic right now – look out for it later this year. amazon.co.uk/dp/B0DVZFZ6Y7

'I have waxed lyrical about the previous books in this cracking Icelandic crime series, and for my money, #TheMurderPool exhibits the most confident structure and pacing of the books to date' Thanks @ravencrime.bsky.social for thorough review 🙌 ravencrimereads.wordpress.com/2026/03/20/b...

Stella Blómkvist- The Murder Pool tr. Quentin Bates 'Stella is undoubtedly a divisive character in terms of her morality & behaviour to achieve what she needs to, but I’m really rather fond of her.' @graskeggur.bsky.social @corylusbooks.bsky.social ravencrimereads.wordpress.com/2026/03/20/b...

...the most sophisticated of the Blómkvist novels so far, without compromising any of what makes this such a popular series. Stella goes from strength to strength!' Thanks to @madamebibi.bsky.social for this superb review madamebibilophilerecommends.co.uk/2026/03/19/t...

A few initial thoughts about the International Booker Longlist for 2026 findingtimetowrite.wordpress.com/2026/02/25/i...

Four Days in Copenhagen and One Book alifeinbooks.co.uk/2026/02/four...

Presenting the longlist for the #InternationalBooker2026, supported by Bukhman Philanthropies. Find out more about the books, authors and translators: thebookerprizes.com/ibp2026

Been a supporter of this prize more or less since the outset so to be featured as a book of the month AND be asked to judge it during its 10th year is very, very special indeed. The longlist is awesome, news on the shortlist coming VERY soon......

Ooops, confusion alert!

"A number of literary agencies are adding amendments to their submission guidelines urging authors not to use AI in their submissions, as agents report that its use across query letters and manuscripts is becoming more prevalent" www.thebookseller.com/news/literar...

'Drucaroff's writing, in the present tense, has a sense of immediacy which builds the tension, and the insight the book gives into the revolutionary lifestyle, and how violently human beings can behave towards one another, is unforgettable...' Thank you @kaggsy59.bsky.social for this superb review!

Just noticed Amazon supposedly has audiobooks of Zodiac and Resilience - but it's sheer title coincidence, they are NOT by Anamaria Ionescu and Bogdan Hrib respectively. You CAN get those books as e-books and paperbacks though corylusbooks.com/zodiac/ corylusbooks.com/resilience/

This week on Quick Book Reviews Podcast I chat with the brilliant @alisonbarrow.bsky.social (PR Director atTransworld) about debut novels, audiobook growth, publishing trends, and breaking into the industry. Thoughtful, practical, and very bookish. Listen wherever you get your podcasts.

If you're wondering what all the fuss is about @stellablomkvist.bsky.social transl. @graskeggur.bsky.social the first 3 crime novels in the series are available on Kobo at a special price now. And you can pre-order the 4th in the series, coming out on 5th March. Great TV series too! bit.ly/4qP2xfM

Kind words indeed. Bogdan T will be very much missed

I know @corylusbooks.bsky.social are pestering Óskar for a third book, so keep your eyes peeled! In the meantime they've got plenty of other great #Icelandic authors on their books, some on special offer atm I believe! 😁 #BookSky #Iceland

At @corylusbooks.bsky.social we publish translated crime fiction with a social edge, from Icelandic, Romanian, Catalan and more. Next in our beloved (prickly, courageous, larger than life) Stella Blomkvist series is coming out in March www.amazon.co.uk/Murder-Pool-...

Could Bucharest possibly be snowier than Reykjavik at the moment?
