It’s the best time of year: spooky season!! The stretch of the year from Halloween through Christmas is always my favorite, and, coincidentally, I also think it’s the perfect time of year to dig into a great Scandinavian crime novel.

Read on for my picks for Nordic thrillers perfect for your spooky season to-read pile!
