1222: A Hanne Wilhelmsen Novel (Hanne Wilhelmsen Novels)
“Anne Holt is the Godmother of modern Norwegian crime fiction.”—Jo Nesbø"A good old-fashioned murder mystery. Wherever Hanne shows up next, my advice is to follow that wheelchair."--Marilyn Stasio,New York Times Book Review“It must be spooky in Scandinavia, but Holt, Norway’s best-selling female crime writer and a former minister of justice, has a goofy streak that changes the tone of this beguiling book….I really loved this snowbound book.”—Carolyn See,Washington Post"A well-wrought, claustrophobic mystery...best served by the blizzard, roaring in the background while Hanne parses the swirl of rumors and snow piles inexorably against the windows."--Houston Chronicle“It's a safe bet to say [Hanne Wilhelmsen] is a unique fictional creation, yet Holt makes her utterly believable. With her doubting internal dialogue and sharp wit, Wilhelmsen is neither too good, nor too bad and brooding to be true -- a nice find in the mystery world….Thanks to the sharp Wilhelmsen and an exceptional cast of characters, there's nothing cliché about Holt's take on this tried-and-true mystery genre.”—Cleveland Plains-Dealer
