Sure aren't Belfast, Armagh and Warrenpoint among the most glitzy settings in the world?<BR/><BR/>And hard drinking? Pfft! Don't get us started! <BR/><BR/>Seriously, don't.

In fact, it may already be The Current Big Thing. The number of Norwegian novels currently being translated and finding their way onto the shelves at Tesco's and Sainsbury's seems to bear that out. According to my insider source, the market has had enough of American detectives plodding the mean streets of New York and LA, and indeed their British counterparts patrolling rainy London. The comparitively exotic settings of places like Oslo are casting the typical grizzled hard-drinking, tough-talking peeler ina new light.<BR/><BR/>Is this an indicator that Northern Irish crime fiction could make a similar emergence beyond our borders?<BR/><BR/>Speaking of Norwegian crime fic, I'm currently reading The Redbreast by Jo Nesbo. Not bad at all so far.Stuart Nevillehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03883631620345577504noreply@blogger.com
