Ragnar Jonasson je známy svojimi napínavými detektívnymi románmi, ktoré často zasádza do drsnej a pôsobivej islandskej krajiny. Jeho štýl sa vyznačuje precíznou konštrukciou zápletiek a hlbokým vhľadom do psychológie postáv, čo čitateľa vtiahne do mrazivých záhad. Jonasson majstrovsky buduje atmosféru a pocity neistoty, čím vytvára diela, ktoré preverujú hranice žánru. Jeho príbehy skúmajú temnejšie stránky ľudskej povahy a morálne dilemy v izolovanom prostredí.
