Blessed Are Those Who Thirst by Anne Holt

4.0

The subject of this 2nd installment is more disturbing than the 1st, but I liked this one even more. You get to see more into Hanne's personality and her struggle with internalized homophobia, plus Billy T, her awesome colleague who hints that he knows she's gay & is cool with it! The bad guy in this one is a serial rapist/murderer, so definite content warning for that, but I did like how the novel dealt with the issues surrounding sexual assault (in particular, addressing the (racist) assumption that brown immigrant men are more likely to be offenders than white Norwegians and victim-blaming).
