Norway and Snow and Murder between the pages

I have really taken a liking to Scandinavian murder mysteries. I think the first murder mystery I liked was SMILLA'S SENSE OF SNOW. It was a wonderful book and movie. Then I got into the snow thing and read SNOW FALLING ON CEDARS  and THE SHIPPING NEWS. All great books and movies about desolate places and lives in sever climates. We should not forget the MILLENNIUM TRILOGY.

The last couple of books I have read have been by the Norwegian author Jo Nesbo.
A great detective novel set in and around Oslo Norway. Makes me cold just thinking about it. 

NEMESIS and THE SNOWMAN I have on my Kindle along with one more Jo Nesbo story that I will read in the coming months. 
I am thinking that I want to read a seasonal book for October and fall,  and the Halloween time of year. So many books and so little time.
