About this listen

A remote Icelandic island. A diplomatic dinner party. And a murderer in the midst.

The stakes at dinner couldn't be higher.

The Canadian embassy are visiting a remote Icelandic island and the great and the good have gathered to welcome them. But beneath the glamour, tensions are bubbling.

When the deputy Canadian ambassador is poisoned at dinner, suspicion falls on everyone present, but particularly on the ambassador himself. Jane, the ambassador's wife, knows that she has to solve the murder if she is to save her husband and her marriage. But Jane knows better than anyone that, when it comes to protecting scandalous secrets, there are no lengths to which people won't go.

So soon the question becomes: can she track down the killer before they strike again?

Critic Reviews

A fresh, transporting, emotionally involving suspense debut (AJ FINN, #1 Sunday Times bestselling author of The Woman in the Window and End of Story)
An intriguing mystery, an exotic setting, and a Christie vibe-what's not to love? (Shari Lapena, internationally bestselling author of What Have You Done?)
I loved this book. Eliza Reid is so assured in her plot, her characters that it's hard to believe this is her first novel. Death of a Diplomat is compulsive and propulsive reading. Not only wonderfully evocative of a little known area of Iceland, it is also surprising, with twists even a seasoned crime reader won't see coming. A brilliant debut, that promises more to come. (LOUISE PENNY, author of the Inspector Gamache series)
An addictive and edgy murder mystery with wonderfully quirky characters and razor-sharp dialogue. You'll turn the pages faster than you ever thought possible. (Jann Arden, bestselling author of The Bittlemores)
