About the Book

'A delightful mix of classic crime fiction and Robert Galbraith' - IAN MOORE 'Witty, compelling and an intriguing fiendish murder' - J.M. HALL 'Brilliantly entertaining and fiendishly fun' - PHILIPPA EAST A dead art historian. Cold War skulduggery. A reluctant Danish sleuth. And an extremely hungry dog. Eminent art historian Dame Charlotte Lazerton is dead. Her body was found at the foot of her stairs, guarded by her Irish wolfhound. The police believe that she died of natural causes, but Torben Helle - Danish academic and amateur sleuth - is convinced that his beloved mentor was murdered. After all, Charlotte had a knack for making enemies. Aided by his old friend Leyla, Torben's investigation uncovers plenty of people who might have wanted Charlotte dead, from old adversaries from her time with MI6 to her rivals for a prestigious academic presidency. But Torben is woefully unqualified to catch a killer, and the killer knows it... This witty murder mystery puts a modern spin on the classic Golden Age whodunnit. A must-read for fans of Tom Hindle, Richard Osman and Janice Hallett.

About the Author :
Oskar Jensen is an author and academic. He researches songs at Newcastle University and has written scholarly tomes on Napoleon, ballad-singing and, most recently, the London streets in Vagabonds: Life on the Streets of Nineteenth-century London. He is a BBC New Generation Thinker, appearing frequently on Radio 3 and 4, as well as showing up in the New Statesman, on Who Do You Think You Are?, and as historical advisor for 2018's Vanity Fair and the forthcoming biopic of Mary Wollstonecraft, If Love Should Die. Helle and Death, Oskar's debut adult novel and the first to feature Danish sleuth Torben Helle, was published by Viper in 2024.

Review :
An absolute corker, highly improbable, hugely enjoyable, an ingenious blend of Nordic noir and hygge crime Devilishly fun Another delightfully mischievous whodunnit from the author of Helle and Death The mystery at the heart of Helle's Hound is every bit as complex and intriguing as is expected from a crime masterminded by Jenson... A cosy mystery with a delightful Danish twist and plenty of laughs along the way, Helle's Hound is a first-rate whodunit One to be enjoyed Will find favour with Conan Doyle fans thanks to Jensen's bravura plotting and satisfying conclusion The evocations of London are beautiful. The comedy - just - avoids being arch Downbeat and funny at the same time. Oskar Jensen's writing is a delightful mix of classic crime fiction and Robert Galbraith's Cormoran Strike Witty, compelling and what an intriguing, fiendish murder Rogues, rascals and an oversized dog - Helle's Hound has it all. The most delicious murder I've read all year A triumphant return for Torben! Both his sleuthing and his relationship with Leyla have gone from strength to strength since the fateful death in book one, and I thoroughly enjoyed his musings. Charming and fun A brilliantly entertaining murder mystery with a fiendishly fun puzzle and characters I completely fell for. I'm quickly becoming a firm fan of the Torben Helle series Oskar Jensen masterfully blends wit and suspense in Helle's Hound, delivering a modern homage to the Golden Age whodunnit. A must-read for fans of classic crime fiction Deeply satisfying, clever and very funny Another rollicking and masterfully crafted tale by Oskar Jensen. Blending elements of a classic golden-age mystery with the intensity of a contemporary thriller, the story is skilfully laced with sharp humour and Jensen's signature wit A charming and witty murder mystery with a wonderfully eccentric protagonist and an ingenious solution! An excellent return for the unlikely sleuth Torben Helle A charming, tasty and fiendishly clever mystery
