|summary=''1222'' was one of last year’s crime novel sensations. Set in a blizzard-hit hotel in a remote part of Norway and featuring prickly detective Hanne Wilhelmsen, it was Miss Marple meets Harry Hole, a clever and very funny take on the Nordic noir genre. ''1222'' was Britain’s introduction to Wilhelmsen and her creator, the lawyer and Norwegian Minister for Justice-turned-novelist Anne Holt. Scandinavian readers, however, have been familiar with them both since 1993, when Hanne made her debut in the novel [[The Blind Goddess by Anne Holt|The Blind Goddess]]. ''Blessed Are Those Who Thirst'', first written in 1994, is Hanne’s second case, a story that shows her still finding her feet as a detective.
