It was probably Stieg Larsson’s Millennium novels that peaked my interest in Scandinavia mysteries. Arnaldur Indrisdason next caught my attention and I am currently working my way through his Reykjavik Thriller Series. So when I noticed this somewhere, I don’t remember exactly where, I ordered it from the library.
Finland is probably a place where I would not like to live. It sounds cold and dark. If I am to believe the author the Finnish are cold and remote people. But when it comes to murder, they appear to have a lot of passion. Snow Angels was a good book, maybe a little to graphic for me but it mostly stayed within bounds. The book revolves around the murder of a Somali immigrant, a beautiful semi-successful actress, who is brutally murdered. Our protagonist, Kari Vaara, police chief of the Lapland town of Kittiä, soon finds out that the man his ex-wife left him is involved with the murdered woman. The story is put together well and there were enough differences in culture and procedure to make the book a worthwhile read. I will look forward to another installment from Mr.. Thompson.
