Why this pick
For its carefully staged serial crimes, bleak atmosphere, and increasingly personal detective partnership, with revelations paced through a cold, deliberate investigation.
Why this pick
A cross-cultural murder investigation in the Arctic combines stark natural beauty with ritualistic violence and a steadily deepening feeling of dread.
Why this pick
