This is a new book in the Nordic noir section and takes place on
the northernmost tip of Iceland. It was fun to watch through the window
as snow fell while I read this, because I could hear the wind blowing
and feel the cold, ice, and snow. I had goosebumps when reading about
people swimming in a pool during a blizzard. A just-graduated police
officer has moved to the northern, snowy, isolated and usually calm
town. While the community is planning a new play to open around
Christmas, the new police officer suspects foul play when a famous
author is found dead at the bottom of the playhouse stairs. When a woman
is found in the snow, the town is enveloped in fear. I’m curious to see
in time if this might be the beginning of a new mystery series.
