Nightblind
(OverDrive MP3 Audiobook, OverDrive Listen)
Ari Thor Arason is a local policeman whose tumultuous past and uneasy relationships with the villagers in an idyllically quiet fishing village in Northern Iceland-where no one locks their doors-continue to haunt him.
The peace of this close-knit community is shattered by the murder of a policeman-shot at point-blank range in the dead of night in a deserted house. With a killer on the loose and the dark arctic winter closing in, it falls to Ari Thor to piece together a puzzle that involves tangled local politics, a compromised new mayor, and a psychiatric ward in Reykjavik where someone is being held against their will. Then a mysterious young woman moves to the area, on the run from something she dares not reveal, and it becomes all too clear that tragic events from the past are weaving a sinister spell that may threaten them all.

Starred review from October 16, 2017
Set five years after the action of Snowblind, Jónasson’s excellent second thriller featuring Ari Thór Arason to be published in the U.S. finds Ari Thór passed over for the position of inspector in the small Icelandic town of Siglufjördur, a setback mitigated by his reunion with his girlfriend, Kristín, and the birth of their son, Stefnir. When Herjólfur, the man who got the inspector’s position, dies after being blasted at close range by a shotgun near an abandoned house, Ari Thór’s former superior, Tómas, oversees the investigation. Ari Thór and Tómas step on some powerful toes as they follow leads pointing to the town’s mayor, Gunnar Gunnarsson; phone records show that Herjólfur called Gunnarsson late at night shortly before the attack. The mayor’s claim that the conversation was about traffic strikes the pair as implausible. Ari Thór soon begins to feel like a “stranger in a place where everyone was connected and no one could be trusted completely.” Jónasson plants clues fairly before a devastatingly unexpected reveal, without sublimating characterization to plot.
