Snow!
 |
| Siglufjördur, an isolated town in the extreme north of Iceland. An avalanche on the only road into town can cut it off almost entirely during severe winter storms, and that’s the situation in the novel that I recently read.. |
Snowblind by Ragnar Jonasson seems to me more of a police procedural than a thriller. A young policeman, on his first assignment, must figure out the reason why a murder has occurred, and must discover many interrelationships among its people. It’s a pretty good read — lots of local color and winter darkness. The large number of Icelandic mystery writers is amazing.

I'm not a thriller reader. I like police procedurals and mysteries. So this one might be just for me!
I just finished book 4 in the series this morning. It's pretty good, isn't it? And its definitely more a crime story than thriller. I read the author loves Agatha Christie and that he translated some of them into Icelandic, and book 4 has a kind of Christie feel. hugs-Erika
Ohhh this sounds like something I could get into.
I´m freezing just seeing this! It must be beautiful, though, if you like the cold. When I was into flat-sharing (late 1990´s) roommates went there and did not stop telling how beautiful it was. I made myself a hot cuppa! Brrrr......
Sounds good to me, I will put it on my reading list.
Take care, have a wonderful day!
I'm a big fan of police procedurals. I also love mysteries. This sounds like something I would enjoy.
This is one I would enjoy for sure!
