Well, you’re right somehow. I am norwegian myself. And we certainly have some weird traditions here, such as the easter crime stuff. But I don’t really thing the vast majority of the people here are very hung up in these traditions. It’s not something I think too much about when it occurs.

Sounds idyllic for sure however there are quite possible a lot of things that SHOULD be done in the glow of a cozy fireplace at a secluded cabin that one can only get to by donning a pair of skis – reading is definitely one of them. Actually when you read this you can almost picture the fire and the almost burning feeling in your toes with your woolly socks on.

It makes me nostalgic for a bit of colder weather, never been to Norway perhaps it is time!!!

One thing I haven’t seen before is mysteries on the back of milk cartons but perhaps I never looked!
Cheers anyway

It sounds really wonderful…Reading a horror story on a summer night with chocolates and a lot of fun stuff. I would definitely like to try it out.

jb says: Sorry, Tom. Either your phone’s on the blink or you need a new provider. Or, perhaps you’re just too high up that mountain.

Well then you’ll have to get your skis on. That is the only way to get around up here. Then when you build up a bit of pace and point the skis in the wrong direction you’ll slide all the way down to the valley. And as you know, you never meet nice people down there. That’s when the real “who done it” get going.
By the way I tried to add a comment when I was online with my mobile phone and I click submit but I always get an error message. Try for yourself.

jb says: OK, I’ll try.

How wonderful! I love this idea. Maybe I should move!

jb says: It’s a great country, Robin.

I love this idea. I wonder if there’s a mystery novel out there that takes advantage of this “holiday”… a murder/crime occurring during the Easter-crime-noveling-reading period, with clues scattered throughout some or all of the puzzles. Love it.

And love, too, your commenting inside the responses. If you don’t mind, I’m going to try that out myself!

jb says: OK, Norwegian readers. There’s a question for you. Does this novel exist . . .yet?
