It's hard to pinpoint a specific country. Reading preferences can vary greatly among individuals and might not be determined by nationality on a holiday like Easter.
Some might read crime stories on Easter because they enjoy the thrill and mystery. It can also be a way to pass the time or have something to discuss with others.
Hard to generalize. Different countries have different reading preferences during Easter. Maybe in Scandinavian countries, crime stories aren't that popular, but in others, they could be.
Honestly, there's no definite answer. Easter reading choices are diverse, and the popularity of crime stories could change from year to year and across different regions within a country. So, pinpointing one particular country is quite challenging.
Often, they may have a cold and desolate setting, which is common in Norwegian literature. The Easter time might be used to contrast the supposed joy of the holiday with the dark deeds in the story.
One possible significance could be promoting cultural and religious traditions. Easter is an important religious holiday for many in the US. By the Trump administration reading Easter stories, it might have been a way to show support for the Christian community and connect with their values.
I think in some European countries like Germany or France, you could come across crime stories tied to Easter traditions. These countries have rich cultural histories that sometimes incorporate such elements in their storytelling.
I'm not sure if there are many crime novels specifically centered around Easter in Norway. However, many Norwegian crime novels like those by Karin Fossum often have a moody and complex narrative. Her works usually deal with deep psychological aspects of the characters, and while not Easter - themed per se, they are great examples of Norwegian crime writing.
