Surely someone, somewhere, at some time, will eventually write a good Viking crime fiction, embroidered with savage brutality, Northern coldness, and laconic evocativeness. But, until then, you might want to check out Dustin Long's "Icelander" (2006). I won't give a synopsis here as you can Google it yourself. Suffice to say, it is a strange but wonderful little novel that incorporates crime fiction and Norse mythology. Well worth the read!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1422935148755187067.post-76526615130584777202010-04-15T23:52:56.724+01:002010-04-15T23:52:56.724+01:00Well I can not recommend any viking themed crime n...Well I can not recommend any viking themed crime novels but I must admitt and reveal my dark secret in that I write in quite a deeply viking based theme but not on the historical side. No, I would spend way too much time researching so I delve into Norse Mythology for my characters, plot and inspiration and at least there I have a little give way with artistic license. Feel free to pop over to my blog and let me know what you think of my interpretation of Valkyries still busy collecting souls in a modern world where they have had to bend the rules on just accepting those killed in battle.Becky Hill/Soul Chaser Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12510346511386310534noreply@blogger.com
