A review by helgamharb
Snowblind by Ragnar Jónasson
5.0
Darkness and snow… Darkness and snow…
I cannot pinpoint the reason for my 5 star rating for this book. Was it the atmosphere? Was it the imagery described so beautifully? Was it the writing style? The characters? The mystery?
Was it all the above?
All I know is that when I picked up the book it was mid-morning and by night time I had read more than half of it.
“Nothing ever happens here.”
That is what Ari Thór is told upon arriving to Siglufjörður, a small, peaceful village in Northern Iceland to begin his new job as a policeman.
Nothing ever happens in remote villages buried in snow.
Or so we think…
Because secrets have the habit of coming to the surface in small towns.
