A review by flok
Whiteout by Ragnar Jónasson
4.0
I happened to be halfway through watching season 2 of TV series "Trapped" when this became available from the library, so I was glad that the residents of Siglufjordur got some reprieve in this book!
The two previous novels in the series introduced us to new characters, with some of the action taking place in Reykjavik, as well as Siglufjordur. Here the two policemen, Ari Thor, and Tomas take center stage again as they meet to solve a case at a lighthouse in the remote north. It's the run up to Christmas, and a heavily pregnant Kristin joins Ari Thor on this trip.
A young woman is found dead at the bottom of a cliff - the same spot where both her mother and sister had died years earlier. Suicides? Accidents?
A bit of a huis-clos in this remote hamlet consisting of two households.
Once again, Jónasson does atmosphere beautifully, and in spite of the tiny pool of suspects it's never obvious what happened then and now.
