Snowblind

Snowblind by Ragnar Jonasson

Summary:  Where: A quiet fishing village in northern Iceland, where no one locks their doors. It is accessible only via a small mountain tunnel.

Who: Ari Thor is a rookie policeman on his first posting, far from his girlfriend in Reykjavik. He has a past that he's unable to leave behind.

What: A young woman is found lying half-naked in the snow, bleeding and unconscious, and a highly esteemed elderly writer falls to his death. Ari is dragged straight into the heart of a community where he can trust no one, and secrets and lies are a way of life.

Past plays tag with the present and the claustrophobic tension mounts, while Ari is thrust ever deeper into his own darkness―blinded by snow and with a killer on the loose.

Taut and terrifying, Snowblind is a startling debut from Ragnar Jonasson, an extraordinary new talent.

Angies comments: A good Scandinavian mystery, with a likeable (and sometimes not likeable) main character. The mystery is not especially horrifying, but rather a murder that is solved through investigation and some occasional luck. It is a bit like a house party murder in an English estate, except that it is the village that is cut off and the villagers are all suspects.


Recommended for readers of police mysteries.
