From Little Stack
Helle & Death is a modern take on the mystery classics, and I’m confident this author is up there with some of the genre’s greats. Oskar Jensen doesn’t shy away from his influences in his writing, but also has a completely unique style that sets this book apart from other mysteries.
Torben Helle is dragged to a remote snowbound mansion for a ten-year reunion with old university friends. Things start to go sideways with shocking revelations at the dinner table. And when these are followed by an apparent suicide, the group faces a test of their wits and their trust… A masterful and fascinating debut!
A snowstorm. A country house. Old friends reunited.
It's going to be murder...
Torben Helle - art historian, Danish expat and owner of several excellent Scandinavian jumpers - has been dragged to a remote Northumbrian mansion for a ten-year reunion with old university friends. But when some shocking revelations from their host, a reclusive and irritating tech entrepreneur, are followed by an apparent suicide, the group faces a test of their wits... and their trust.
Surrounded by enigmatic housekeepers and off-duty police inspectors, suspicion and sarcasm quickly turn to panic. Only by drawing upon all the tricks of Golden Age detectives past will Torben be able to solve the mystery: how much money would it take to turn one of his old friends into a murderer? But he'd better be quick, or someone else might end up dead...
This witty murder mystery puts a modern spin on the classic country house whodunnit.
