Since it is so very hot here in Florida our mystery book club has decided to read about cold climates. Any suggestions for a really "cold" mystery?

Winter Study by Nevada Barr
6thorold
Snow falling on cedars isn't quite as cold as the title suggests, but fairly chilly.
7cbl_tn
Raven Black by Ann Cleeves is set in the Shetland Islands in January.
8Ronnyreader
Winterfrost by wingfield might be a good idea
9Bookmarque
Gorky Park by Martin Cruz Smith and even more so its follow up Polar Star - the first is set in Moscow and other parts of Russia, the second the Bering Strait and Alaska. It doesn't get much colder than that.
Another one that isn't a mystery per se, but has mysterious circumstances is In the Deep Midwinter by Robert Clark. It's the story of a family coming apart in 1950 Missouri. Very good and very under-read.

Rest You Merry by Charlotte MacLeod, although it has a Christmas theme as well, not just winter.

I echo the recommendations for Smilla's Sense of Snow and the Martin Cruz Smith books (Red Square, too - I didn't like Stalin's Ghost as much).
I lesser known book that I thought was great is Blackwater by Kerstin Eckman. I couldn't bring it up here, but Amazon has it. I think it would lead to good group discussions as well.

Both of the following are 1st mysteries in a series and very good, as well as providing winter atmospheres that are part of the story:
Cold Granite by Stuart MacBride
Forty Words for Sorrow by Giles Blunt

An oldie by Nicholas Blake, The Corpse in the Snowman - a fascinating whodunit.

I'm amazed no one has mentioned The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, The Girl Who Played with Fire, and The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson.

Iceland! Arnaldur Indridason has a whole series set in Iceland - with cold names like Hypothermia, Arctic Chill, plus others like The Draining Lake, Silence of the Grave, Tainted Blood.
25Callahan98
Stan Jones sets his mysteries in Alaska so you can't get too much colder than that.

24. Hi Sophie - weird, huh? I have just started both those authors and really enjoy their settings, especially in summer.

Another great mystery is In the Bleak Midwinter by Julia Spencer-Fleming. I highly recommend all of her books.
And then there is Last Rituals and My Soul to Take by Yrsa Sigurordottir. Both set in Iceland.

Try the Cork O'Connor series by William Kent Krueger set in northern Minnesota. Not all take place in the winter months, but those that do are very cold and piled high with snow. Iron Lake, Krueger's first O'Connor book, might fit what you are seeking.
29Darcia
I recently read/reviewed the ARC copy of Ice Cold by Tess Gerritsen. The book is a thriller, with lots of suspense. And, as the title states, it's set in a cold climate. I'm in Florida as well and I have to say that sometimes I'd get so deep into the book that I would find myself chilled on a 90 degree day!
30damejennylynn
I really like William Kent Krueger books. They are set in Minnesota and I love the story lines. I think you should start with his first book. It was a great read.

More of a Thriller than a Mystery, but mysterious things do happen:

Several of Donald Harstad's books set in Iowa are during deep cold winter like The Big Thaw and A Long December
34chinquapin
There is also Body in the Snowdrift by Katherine Hall Page which is at a ski resort, and Winterkill by C. J. Box which is set in the wilderness in Wyoming and Blue Deer Thaw by Jamie Harrison which is set in Montana in the winter.
35SandyLee
Definitely Snow Angels by James Thompson. Takes place in Finland where it is -40 and that is NOT wind chill factor. One of my favorite reads of the year.
36Greatbuys4less
I finished reading Smilla's Sense of Snow which was excellent and now reading Winter Study which has started off very well. I just received in the mail Ice Cold by Tess Gerritsen and really want to dive into it!
37sidney_ruffdiamond
I can strongly recommend Henning Mankell novels,mostly based in Sweden.I also rate Arnaldur Indridason books based in Iceland
38kaseysmom
(Black Ice) by (Matt Dickinson) - good thriller, set in Antarctica. It got me interested in Antarctica, so I read (South), the account of Shackleton's expedition. It's non-fiction, but a good can't-put-it-down companion to any South Pole fiction. It's as tense as a lot of thrillers.
39Bookmarque
You might give a new author a try - The Eye of the Red Tsar. It takes some historical liberties, but is an entertaining read set in Russia set alternately at the time of the Tsar's fall and Stalin's rule. Some really intense descriptions of life in a Siberian work camp.

I've recently read Stan Jones' Nathan Active series- went through them like a hot knife through butter.
White Sky, Black Ice; Shaman Pass; Frozen Sun; Village of the Ghost Bears
I can't help it- when I find an author I like, I just read all their stuff at once.
So now...I'm wondering if anyone has any news about a 4th book in that series?
Is Stan Jones working on one now?
Also, two FAVORITE cold cold freezing cold settings:
Kabloona by Gontran de Poncins
Spirit Wrestler by James Houston

I am enjoying the audio version of Alaska Justice by M.D. Kincaid.

If you can find a copy, Lionel Davidson's Kolymsky Heights is a great read and set almost entirely in northern Siberia - in WINTER - and it's so well written you could swear you put on a parka to keep turning the pages!
53CD1am
Tho probably long past the time for the book group that originally prompted this question, I'll second the recommendations for William Kent Krueger's Iron Lake and the Em Hansen mystery which was touchstoned wrong, the correct touchstone is In Cold Pursuit by Sarah Andrews. I really like this series.
54avaland
Also from Iceland, there are three mysteries by Yrsa Sigurgardottir. Her protagonist is a lawyer and, while I haven't gotten to deeply into her third yet, the first two featured some part of Icelandic history. Her books are a nice companion to Indridason's police procedurals (mentioned in #23 & #37 above), if you are interested in Iceland generally (which is a really cool place, no pun intended. It's not everyday one gets to shower with hot water pumped from the earth - no water heaters!).
As far as a cold climate, Iceland is relatively temperate and it's not as cold there as one imagines, or let's just say, it doesn't swing so cold or so hot as it does in, say, the Northeastern US where I live. But I guess a "cold climate" is a relative thing.

P J Tracy's Monkeewrench books are set mostly in Minnesota, some of them in very cold winter. I seem to recall an ice carving contest in one?

We are ready cold climate mysteries again so this is a great list. Thanks everyone!!!

Like someone above me, I recommend the Kurt Wallender Series by Henning Mankell.
I've just read Faceless Killers and Dogs of Riga both by Henning Mankell. He really emphasizes how cold and stormy it is, and as someone living in Canada, the temps in Sweden are not that bad....... it gives me a bit of chuckle.
But the books are great - and you will feel cold!!:)

I don't think has anyone mentioned Beneath The Snow by Caroline Carver (pseudonym C. J. Carver) yet. I can't personally endorse it, since I haven't read it yet, but it was highly recommended to me. Even the cover art is frightfully cold.
Synopsis from Fantastic Fiction: It's been a hard winter in the Alaskan town of Lake's Edge—and things are about to get tougher. Lisa McCall, a brilliant young research scientist, has disappeared in a snowstorm. Shaken by the news, Lisa's estranged sister, Abby, flies from England to join the rescue team. Almost immediately, Abby begins to see that Lisa's work has threatened some very powerful people—people who will stop at nothing to protect their interests. Abby knows her sister is out there, battling cold and terror, while her enemies circle. Risking her own life, Abby sets out to find her sister before its too late.

I loved that book! I like books by other Nordic authors too. Check out Karen Fossum's mysteries as well.
63sakayume
I second the Boris Akunin suggested in a previous message. His books are set in Russia, so lots of cold and snow and whatnot in winter. ;)
64Booksloth
Dark Matter by Michelle Paver isn't exactly a mystery, more of a traditional ghost story, but it's one of the most atmospheric books I've read in a long time which captures perfectly the feel of the icy, 24 hour nights in Northern Norway. Left me feeling very cold indeed.
65DianeM
Lee Child's 14th Jack Reacher novel 61 Hours is a great cold climate mystery. Set in South Dakota in the middle of winter you'll find yourself shivering not only by references to the cold, but by the twists and turns of the plot.

I'd go with THE COLD KISS by John Rector.

>15 BeckyJG: Whiteout by Ken Follett was a very interesting book. Truly cold weather in that book, and Ken Follett is a very good writer and makes the plot grab you and hold your attention. I really liked this book.
71Violette62
I have noticed that all of the Scandinavian authors have coldness as the themes of their novels. Some have already been mentioned. Arnaldur Indridason was mentioned earlier. There is also Camilla Lackberg, Karin Fossum, Yrsa Sigurdardottir, Henning Mankell, Jo Nesbo, Peter Hoeg, Asa Larsson, Hakan Nesser and Liza Marklund. Of course there are the Icelandic Sagas that you could read. These are myths about the migration of Norwegians to Iceland.
72Bjace
Death in a cold climate isn't Robert Barnard's best, but indifferent Barnard is still very good. M. C. Beaton's Hamish Macbeth novels are set in the Scottish Highlands, many in winter. Try Death of a prankster. Alisa Craig's Murder goes mumming is set in Nova Scotia at Christmastime.
73magnumpigg
Oh, yes #66, I too have to go with The Cold Kiss by John Rector. Seems so many of the stories listed here are mentioned merely because they are set in a cold climate area...nothing wrong with that... but I point it out because in the The Cold Kiss the snow storm plays a major roll. Basically it is what puts the characters in to their predicament. Is a very stylish, gritty, noir story that I would not recommend to "cozy-only" readers. The people involved in this story are despicable. Other gritty cold clime stories that I remember fondly and wherein the weather does indeed play a major roll are: Snowbound by Bill Pronzini, The Ice Harvest by Scot Phillips, The Cold Dish by Craig Johnson. I am sure there are others I have read but these came immediately to mind.

Well, now that it's finally reached 90 degrees for the first time this summer here in Portland Oregon I'm wanting the same thing - My suggestion is blood upon the snow (1944)by Hilda Lawrence - nothing but snow in this book and a very good mystery. "The snow was falling thick and fast when the last train of the day clattered into Crestwood at eight o'clock."
77danieljayfriedman
Try the late and much missed Stuart Kaminsky's Porfiry Rostnikov series. Very charming, very cold, set in Moscow and occasionally in Siberia with an always interesting cast of repeating characters.

Åsa Larsson, well-written crime novels set in northern Sweden.
Monica Kristensen, several crime novels set on Svalbard/Spitsbergen.
For a non-fiction mystery I would also add "The Expedition" by Bea Uusma which investigates the fate of an early expedition towards the north pole.

I know this is quite an old thread but I thought I'd add the Antarctica / Arctic chunk from the A-Z World Guide to Mystery Fiction listed elsewhere on LT
I've just copied it all over so there will be duplications with some suggestions above, touchstones don't always work I'm afraid but if not a manual look up will get you there.... (I've also chucked in a few other cold climate locations for likely possibilites)
