Like your mysteries cold, snowy and dark? How about cool with almost endless daylight? Interested in Iceland, Norway, Denmark, Sweden and Finland?

Nordic Noir could be for you!

Nordic Noir is a dark subset of the crime fiction genre. The stories typically involve brutal crimes, a bleak setting (in Scandinavia, of course!), a tortured protagonist, and a strong plot with multiple threads and twists.
