When Sergeant Gunnhildur Gísladóttir of the local police force is called in to investigate the death of a man found tied to a bed in one of Reykjavík's nicest hotels, she finds no sign of criminal activity but suspects there may be more to the case than meets the eye. Could the death of the shipowner be related to a local gangster’s recent return to Iceland after many years abroad?
What begins as a straightforward case for Gunnhildur soon explodes into a dangerous investigation, involving a discreet bondage society that ruthless men will go to violent extremes to keep secret.

From Booklist
In her third outing, Iceland police sergeant Gunnhildur (Gunna) Gísladóttir investigates the murder of a businessman found tied to a bed in an upscale Reykjavik hotel. He’s not the first man to be similarly abandoned midway through a paid-for tryst. To make matters worse, a laptop containing sensitive government data was stolen from one of the rooms. All this would be pressure enough for Gunna, but there’s someone else looking for the disappearing dominatrix—Baddo, a thug just returned to Iceland after an eight-year prison stint in Lithuania. Gunna is a straight-talking single mom (about to become a grandmother, thanks to an impulsive son) who has no patience for the bureaucracy that plagues the case once some escort-hiring government employees are discovered. A solid police procedural with some genuinely rewarding surprises at the end. When it comes to frosty crime novels, Iceland may just be the new Sweden. Fans of Bates’ books may enjoy other Icelandic mysteries by Arnaldur Indridason and Yrsa Sigurdardóttir. --Karen Keefe
Review
“A solid police procedural with some genuinely rewarding surprises at the end. When it comes to frosty crime novels, Iceland may just be the new Sweden.”
—Booklist
“In addition to Bates’ well-paced plots, it’s his protagonist—dealing in these pages not only with professional responsibilities, but with a personal one . . . who makes this procedural series a standout.”
—Kirkus Reviews
"Liberally laced with laughter and menace . . . This woman [Gunnhildur Gisladottir] is a keeper."
—Kittling Books
“An entirely satisfying police procedural . . . A good recommendation if you like a slice of Scandi crime with a good plot, a twist of wry humour and an engaging and plausible detective.”
—Raven Crime Reads
“Bates writes with growing confidence about a place and world he knows well . . . Iceland is brilliantly brought to life from high-life to low life in a plot that unpeels like an onion. Highly recommended.”
—Hack Writers
“Chilled to the Bone is an excellent novel. The elements of the crimes in motion are nicely laid out through the different points of view . . . The book flirts with Scandinavian darkness, something that’s built into the psyche of books like this, if only because of the enduring cold during winter.”
—Thinking About Books
“I love this series. Gunna is a normal woman . . . [Chilled to the Bone] is set in a very believable Iceland too—post banking crisis and with an economy which has to keep looking over the edge to see if it's still in freefall.”
—The Bookbag
Praise for Quentin Bates
"Required reading for anyone who wants a sense of how calamitous Iceland's meltdown was—and what just might be in store for American police procedurals next."
—Kirkus Reviews
"Bates does a fine job with both Gunna and her town, her acerbic boss and an online blogger who keeps us abreast of events in Icelandic media and politics."
—Toronto Globe and Mail
"In Gunna Gísladóttir, Quentin Bates has created a character who appeals both on professional and personal levels."
—Examiner.com

Another Great Icelandic Murder
By Lincs Reader
I've been so looking forward to catching up with Officer Gunnhildur. Chilled To The Bone by Quentin Bates is number three in the series of Icelandic murder mystery stories that feature Gunna as the lead character. Frozen Out (2011) and Cold Comfort (2012) are the first two books, you can read my thoughts about those here.
Chilled To The Bone was published by Constable & Robinson's crime imprint C&R Crime on 18 April 2013. Although this is number three in the series, it could be read as a stand alone, but personally I would advise anyone to start with the first novel.
Sergeant Gunnhildur Gisladottir finds herself heading up what starts as a fairly straightforward investigation. A local businessman is found dead in a hotel bedroom, there is no evidence that this was a murder but as Gunna makes more enquiries, she finds herself slap-bang in the middle of something that is beginning to get dangerous. It appears that there is a bondage ring operating in the city. It seems that this is not the first time a wealthy businessman has been found in an incriminating position in an upmarket hotel yet people are loathe to speak out - they seem very scared. At the same time, local Government officers are making a fuss about a mislaid laptop, putting pressure on Gunna and her department to pull out all the stops to find it.
Quentin Bates has produced an intricate, finely plotted detective story which has some really menacing undertones. Gunna is an amazing lead character; realistic and bold, with secrets of her own that yet again Bates has refused to fully disclose. There is something compelling about this character, she has a history that is very slowly being revealed throughout the series in snippets and leaves the reader wanting to know what? why? how?
As in both of the previous novels, I do sometimes become a little muddled by the long, and quite strange looking Icelandic names of the character - but of course, for realism, they have to be included, and as the story progresses the reader does get to know the lead players very well.
A fast-paced crime novel, with great characters, a clever plot and a smattering of humour. Bring on the next instalment!

Gunnhilder is neither glamorous nor brilliant; but she is dogged and dedicated
By Amazon Customer
Gunnhilder is neither glamorous nor brilliant; but she is dogged and dedicated. In this fine entry in this series of police procedals, she is challenged by a particularly nasty villain and by particularly incompetent and dishonest government officials. An enjoyable read helped by the Icelandic setting.

Cold Case
By Ted Feit
A police procedural is a police procedural, whether it takes place in Brooklyn, Los Angeles or Iceland. And in this, the third novel in the series, Police Sgt. Gunna Gisladottir, gets into a complicated investigation when an elderly retired ship-owner is found dead in a hotel room, nude and tied to the four corners of the bedstead. It turns out he had a heart attack, so no murder, but it is followed by a series of similar attacks at various hotels, during which each victim was relieved of cash, and credit and debit cards, which were milked for whatever they were worth. Moreover, the laptop of one of the victims was confiscated, leading to the knotty issues raised during the plodding investigation, including two murders. It seems the laptop contains information embarrassing to the ministry of foreign affairs.
Gunna is unlike many protagonists: A relatively subdued, ‘normal’ woman, with a home, husband and family, who goes about her business quietly and steadily, snow or ice. The author, who lived in Iceland for ten years before moving back to the UK, writes for a commercial fishing magazine, so he knows the island well and writes about it and its environment with authority.
The novel is recommended.
