Winterkill by Ragnar Jónasson
4.0
"Winterkill" starts with the Easter weekend and Ari is excited to have his ex-girlfriend visiting from Sweden with their 3 year old son. Unfortunately the body of a young woman is found pulling him away from his holiday weekend. What looks to be a straight forward answer to her death may not be as simple as initially thought.
After 7 years in the area, Ari is still struggling to feel connected to Siglufjörður. He knows many of the locals (and they all know who he is) but still doesn't know the connections and histories that the locals know. He's still learning the geography of his temporary home. Plus the area is continuing to change. The expanded tunnel between Siglufjörður and Reykjavik is bringing more tourists and an economic boom to the area. This is making an unsettled Ari feel even more unsettled as his new familiarities have changed.
