The Åre Murders: Swedish Crime Drama Uncovers Dark Secrets in a Snowy Paradise

Just landed on Netflix, The Åre Murders (Åremorden) brings a fresh dose of Nordic noir straight from the heart of Sweden. Based on Viveca Sten’s bestselling novels, the series follows Stockholm cop Hanna Ahlander, played by Amalia Holm, as she retreats to the ski resort town of Åre after hitting rock bottom. But her break from city life is short-lived when a young woman vanishes on Lucia night, pulling her into a tense investigation alongside local officer Daniel Lindskog (Kardo Razzazi).

What makes The Åre Murders stand out is its blend of breathtaking winter scenery and a tightly woven crime story. The small-town setting hides plenty of secrets, and as the investigation deepens, Hanna and Daniel find themselves unraveling more than just a missing person case. The tension and the stakes are high, and the cold, isolated landscape adds to the creeping sense of unease.

If you’re into tense whodunits with stunning scenery and complex characters, this one’s worth adding to your watchlist. Now streaming on Netflix — check out the trailer below.
