Former first lady of Iceland Eliza Reid on her debut novel

Q | May 20, 2025

Bestselling Canadian writer Eliza Reid has written plenty of non-fiction, but now she’s just released her debut novel, “Death on the Island.” It’s a murder mystery involving diplomats set in Iceland — a place that’s quite familiar to her, considering she served as the country’s first lady from 2016 to 2024. Eliza sits down with Tom Power to talk about her new book and the challenges she faced switching from writing fact to fiction.
