It's subtle, nuanced, with a sympathetic central character and the possibilities of great stories to come' Ann Cleeves'An exciting and harrowing tale from one of Iceland's rising stars' Ragnar Jónasson_________________When a body of a woman is discovered at a lighthouse in the Icelandic town of Akranes, it soon becomes clear that she's no stranger to the area.Chief Investigating Officer Elma, who has returned to Akranes following a failed relationship, and her collegues Sævar and Hörður, commence an uneasy investigation, which uncovers a shocking secret in the dead woman's past that continues to reverberate in the present day …But as Elma and her team make a series of discoveries, they bring to light a host of long-hidden crimes that shake the entire community.

As chilling and atmospheric as an Icelandic winter' Lisa Gray, author of Thin Air'The setting in Iceland is fascinating, the descriptions creating a vivid picture of the reality of living in a small town. The Creak on the Stairs is a captivating tale with plenty of tension and a plot to really get your teeth into' LoveReading'At each stage, Ægisdóttir is not giving us information but asking things of us. She's getting us to think through the implications: what if it's him, what if it's her, what would it mean? We're involved, we've got skin in the game and we can't ask for more as readers' Café Thinking
