I began reading what is referred to as Scandinavian noir more than 15 years ago. I read Nesbo, Indridasson, Manning, Keplar, Fossum, Adler-Olsson, Läckberg, Petersen and others. Jonasson is a great addition to the pantheon of Scandinavian mystery/thriller writers. Always dark, always brooding, this book is set on series of events in isolated eastern Iceland that begin just with a missing girl in 1987, a stranger arriving before Christmas and culminating in murders which are discovered the following February when no one has heard from snowbound victims for several months. I believe the plot twists will leave you aghast.

If you like Scandinavian Noir, this book and author are probably right up your ally.
