For episode 14 of the Life in Norway Show I'm joined by NRK journalist Marit Higraff, co-presenter of the hit true crime podcast Death in Ice Valley.

The hit show from NRK and the BBC has been picking up celebrity fans and awards all around the world. It looks in detail at the case of the Isdal woman, one of Norway's most infamous unsolved mysteries.

A woman's body was found badly burned in a remote valley in Norway in November 1970. Objects were found laid out around her body and labels had been removed from her clothes and personal items. The police never found her identify and still, no-one knows who she was or what happened to her.

We talk a little about the case, how the podcast came to be, the international success of Scandinavian crime stories, and what it's like to work as a journalist in Norway.
