Spine-Chilling! 42 Cold-Weather Mysteries and Snowy Suspense Novels

"Here at Goodreads World Headquarters, we like to encourage an informal, lateral-thinking approach to reading. If you've never tried it, themed reading lists can be a lot of fun. You tend to experience lots of happy surprises when chasing themes across genres.

To wit: Here's a collection of wintry-themed mysteries and thrillers (and a splash of horror) in which cold and adverse weather takes a central place in the plot. For instance, mystery grand master Ruth Ware details a frosty company retreat gone very wrong in One by One. Taylor Adams combines a blizzard and a psychopath in the highway thriller No Exit. For the especially courageous, Alma Katsu's horror novel The Hunger is a grim historical reassessment of the Donner Party tragedy.

Other options include snowed-in homes, haunted hotels, and famous arctic expeditions featuring the distinct possibility of Inuit snow demons. If that all sounds too scary for you, we've also included some classic and contemporary cozy mysteries."
