        by Lene Lauritsen Kjølner

        "Sort gryte" is the seventh novel in the Olivia Henriksen-series. A series the author Ingvar Ambjørnsen described as: "Lene has created her own genre in norwegian crime." Lenes genre is described as hygge-prosecco-cosy crime - set in idyllic island-settings in the south of Norway. Some compare her novels to Alexander McCall Smith, Alan Bradley, Maria Lang and the great Agatha Christie. "The frontman in the death metal-band Frityricom is found dead in a jetty at Ankerholmen. The band participates at the Dark Night-festival. Olivia Henriksen mysteriously stumbles into the case thanks to her brother Oskar, a musician, and her hunky lover, Torstein, which is a local policeman. Olivia has a parallel case going on - one which involves burlesque-dancers and possibly sexual harassment. Who has done it? The womanizing agent? A member of a competing metal band?The ambisious parents of the child star? Or is someones troublesome lovelife a motive? Olivia solves the case, in her usually energetic style."
