If you're drawn to crime stories with deep social commentary, "Arctic Chill" could captivate you. Through its harrowing tale and Detective Erlendur's poignant personal reflections, it tackles the complexity of a seemingly progressive society facing racial issues. It's not just the chill of the Icelandic setting that might grip you, but the cold reality of underlying societal tension that Indridason masterfully reveals.
