The Dark, by Emma Haughton, is a mystery set in Antarctica. After a personal trauma, Dr. Kate North decides to leave everything behind and take a post wintering over as the station physician. Not many researchers stay over the winter, through the 24-hour darkness and months without fresh supplies, but a few continue their work year-round. Kate’s ready for an extreme reset, where no one knows her past and where she can self-prescribe in peace.
Before arriving, Kate heard that the position is only open because the previous doctor died in an accident, but once she’s living in the research station, she begins to hear other things. Kate can’t seem to leave this alone, asking nosy questions and peeking around, and I felt a real conflict as she started to look into what could have happened. She’s a mess in her personal life, and maybe this project will distract her and pull her out of this? But then again, she’s a mess, so maybe she’s just going to make it all worse.

There is a body and an emergency surgery in The Dark, but it’s not gory at all.
