This is the second book in a series, I loved the first, Snare and highly recommend reading that before this one as it’s awesome and you’ll be properly caught up because the first book really sets the stage for what takes place in the second. It picks up soon after the first book ends and is just as tense and exciting as it’s predecessor.

Dark thriller set in ICELAND
Trap is second title in the Reykjavik thriller series by Lilja Sigurðardóttir. We reviewed the first, Snare, back in October 2017. Trap is every bit as good as Snare. It features the same characters and takes them forward to the next stage of their life adventure. As I said in my last review ‘I suspect Lilja is setting the scene for the next book in the series’. I could say the same again… And I am looking forward to the third book.

Trap hits the ground running, you’re immediately thrown into the thick of things, and the plot holds your attention throughout. Trap is the perfect title for this novel, because, as the blurb states, Sonja does find herself caught in the middle of a dangerous trap. As much as I like her, the danger she was in made for great reading. The pace was fast, Sonja was constantly on the go, trying to navigate her way out of the mess she found herself in. Trap is a continuation of its predecessor, so you...more

There's plenty of talk about the 'Scandi Crime Wave' and 'Nordic Noir' as if it's some kind of homogeneous offering from the crime writers of that multinational region, when in truth there are plenty of differences in settings, styles, and stories told.

First of all I have to say that this cover is EVERYTHING! Striking simplicity at its finest! And the story within is anything but simplistic! A compounding complicated story that keeps you on the edge of your seat! I had enjoyed Snare so much that I was eager to see if this one enthralled me as much and it did not disappoint!

When I finished reading the new novel by Lilja Sigurdardóttir, who debuted more than successfully with the 'Snare', I couldn't help but feel a bit disappointed. Though 'The Trap' is definitely an enjoyable and entertaining crime book, it seems that it lacks the originality of the writer's previous novel and while it has a well-woven plot which keeps the reader interested, the tempo is somehow flat and anti-climactic, never reaching a peak. In my opinion, this is the book's main problem along...more

If you read Snare by Lilja Sigurdardóttir, then you must head off to your local bookshop and get yourself a copy of Trap (Orenda Books) which is the second in the Reykjavik Noir Series.

The first book of the Reykjavik Noir trilogy, Snare was an eye opener for me. It is the first crime fiction book I read which focused on the illegal drug trade. I was a bit hesitant, but I am so glad I gave it a chance. Sometimes I do forget there is much more to crime fiction than just murder. Snare and Trap portray a dark world with characters as cunning and evil as those in any murder mystery.

I have been looking forward to finding out what lies in store for Sonja and Agla after reading Snare last year. The short answer is much of the same - Sonja might have thought she'd escaped the snare that saw her forced to smuggle cocaine in a bid to regain control of her life and custody of her son, Tomas but she very quickly learns that freedom is elusive and she is still trapped. She may have Bragi on her side but she has made some dangerous enemies and will be forced to come face to face wit...more

Trap, by Lilja Sigurðardóttir (translated by Quentin Bates), is the second novel in the author’s Reykjavik series of crime thrillers. I have not read the first. While the story holds together as a standalone I wondered if the limited backstory, which brought new readers up to speed, contributed to my inability to sympathise with any of the characters. Perhaps had I better understood how they ended up in the difficulties they must now face I would have felt more concern over their fates. It is ha...more

But Sonia explains it was a potent of troubled times ahead and, unfortunately for Sonia, she was right.

Oh Lilja Sigurðardóttir, how clever you are! First you snared me with, er, Snare and now you’ve trapped me with, um, Trap. For those of you who are new to the Reykjavik Noir series, Trap is the second book and whilst it could be read as a standalone I would recommend giving Snare a read first so you can fully immerse yourself in the world Sigurðardóttir has created.
