Smilla's Sense of Snow

I'm pretty sure I had read the book, but I had no memory of it whatsoever. Just as well, as Smilla's Sense of Snow is quite a thriller, with dark plots and gruesome murders.

The movie starts with a little boy's tragic accidental death - he falls off the roof of his apartment building. But his neighbour and friend, Smilla, does not think he was playing on the roof. Based on the footprints in the snow, she thinks he was running. But from what? From whom?

The movie takes quite a few turns, some more unlikely than others. Somehow, I think the book was better. I wonder do I still have it?
