Easter Thriller
CURL UP WITH AN
3 Norwegian crime authors to investigate
T
he uniquely Norwegian tradition of reading Easter
thrillers, or Påskekrim, over the holiday goes back to
1923, according to Hans H. Skei, professor of literature at
the University of Oslo. Two students from Bergen, Nordahl
Grieg and Nils Lie, hoping to earn some extra cash,
wrote the book Bergenstoget Plyndret I Natt ( Bergen
Train Robbed Last Night ). When Aftenposten, an Oslo
daily newspaper, featured the book on the front page,
readers believed that a train indeed had been robbed.
The interest created by the story launched a new literary
tradition: Easter thrillers. Swedish publishers have
tried unsuccessfully to market Easter crime novels, so it
remains a uniquely Norwegian phenomenon.
ii All books are available for purchase at www.amazon.com.
