Julebord: The Holiday Party

David Øybo | English, 2023

This book, Julebord: The Holiday Party, is an intriguing story about a murder mystery set in Norway. Although the book alludes to how one of the principal characters had been affected by parental alienation in his childhood, that is not the central narrative. The chief investigator of the town wonders whether any of the doctors working in a small rural hospital might be linked to the gruesome discovery made after their annual holiday party.
