Author: Ragnar Jónasson

I follow a lot of quilting blogs and the author of one of those blogs is also a Goodreads member. I saw some of the books that she had read so I made a friend request to her and I’ve been following her for almost a year. We’ve read a few books in common but this is the first one I’ve picked up solely on her recommendation.

Ari Thór Arason is a young man in his twenties who has recently completed his training as a police officer. The first job he is offered is in a small fishing village in northern Iceland but he has to leave his girlfriend in Reykjavik as she is finishing up her medical training.

Ari is told that nothing ever happens in the quiet town but that isn’t the case after Ari arrives. An accident (maybe murder) and an assault all take place within a couple of months. The weather is as much a character in the book as the various village people that Ari comes in contact with.
