OP-5 - En blogg om tv, film og krimlitteratur

From their blurb: "…men mest av alt håper vi du liker nerding rundt krim og thriller og spionhistorier like mye som oss, og kommer med tilbakemeldinger i kommentarfeltene."

Varg Veum is the central character in a series of crime novels, written by Gunnar Staalesen, about a private detective who lives in Bergen, on the west coast of Norway. The books have been translated into several languages, including English, German, Swedish, and Danish.

The eleventh Varg Veum movie De døde har det godt, had its Norwegian premiere January 20. 2012. It got mixed reception, but here is at least a nice picture from it. More pictures from the Varg Veum movie productions.
