Whiteout by Ragnar Jónasson
My score: 4 of 5 stars

Whiteout is ebook 5 within the Darkish Island sequence of Icelandic thrillers.

This story takes place a number of months on from the top of the earlier ebook. As soon as extra, the setting is within the coastal area of northern Iceland, the place a lighthouse warns of the harmful rocks; it’s a place the place two deaths occurred greater than twenty years in the past.

Now a younger girl returns to the place the place she misplaced her mom and sister. Tragically, their deaths meant that she additionally misplaced her father, who by no means recovered from the trauma. However it’s a new thriller that brings Detective Ari Thór Arason and his earlier boss to the distant place and they’re beneath strain to resolve the case earlier than the Christmas holidays.

That is solely the second ebook that I’ve learn on this sequence and I most well-liked it to ebook 4. There have been much less characters on this one, which simplified the narrative and studying it straight after the final ebook additionally helped me benefit from the story.

E book description:

Because the darkish historical past and its secrets and techniques of the village are unveiled, and the dying toll begins to rise, the Siglufjordur detectives should race in opposition to the clock to seek out the killer, earlier than one other tragedy takes place.
