Review: The Lost House

by Melissa Larsen

Published January 14, 2025 by Minotaur Books

Melissa Larsen’s The Lost House was a perfect mystery to read snuggled under my duvet in a snowstorm. 

Agnes, recovering from a serious knee injury, travels to Iceland to be interviewed for a podcast. She’s the granddaughter of a man believed to be a notorious killer: her grandfather, Einar, fled Iceland after murdering his wife and baby.  But Agnes only knew Einar as her beloved grandfather, and hopes to prove his innocence.

I loved this one, it’s a quiet, character-driven mystery set in a small town in Iceland. I’d recommend it to fans of Clare Mackintosh and Tana French. The atmosphere was so perfect.

⭐⭐⭐⭐1/2
