OK, my ancestry includes grandparents who were immigrants from Norway after the first world war. So I grew up with at least a smattering of Norwegian culture which popped up at odd times during the year.
But this I have never heard of until now.
It seems the annual Easter tradition in a large part of Norway is to head to your ski cabin, watch crime dramas on television then read crime novels.
Sales of crime books jump around 500 percent in the week leading up to Easter, estimates bookshop chain Tanum, while television and radio programmers schedule back-to-back thrillers over the Easter break, which in Norway lasts 5-1/2 days.
Norway, incidentally, has one of the lowest crime rates in the world.
Paws up, Bugs…..
