Recs if you like The Snowman...

Books that were adapted into movies (not tv shows). Let's make this list as long as possible!

(going to only add the first book in a series)

I couldn’t find one and I wanted one. So now I am making one. A new crime adventure, as I have read exactly zero of these on creation of this list.

Ethical murder solving from your couch without joining your local police department.

Mystery novels (and maybe a few thrillers) that have a theme of Christmas or other winter holidays, or an overall wintery theme. Please give suggestions!

Wintery Weather Thrillers! Suspense for a Snowy Day!

A list to help those who aspire to read from authors outside the typical areas. I will be creating different list for different regions. I will also list the countries currently found in the list. Be sure to check out the other lists! Note: The countries are not perfect as some countries are classified differently, so I did my best.

Current Countries: Austria, Belgium, Bulgaria, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, The Netherlands, Norway, Scotland, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, Wales

Books with winter, snowy, or frozen settings. Usually suspenseful, thriller, or horror. The weather or temperature as a secondary character.
