From Little Stack
As you can probably tell by now, I do love a good mystery in spring, and Helle’s Hound definitely ticks that box. It’s a complex, witty and thoroughly entertaining story with brilliant characters and a baffling new murder to solve. If you ever want to really feel like you’re a part of a murder mystery, Oskar’s books are for you.
Dame Charlotte Lazerton is dead and while the police believe that she died of natural causes, our main character, Torben Helle, becomes convinced that Charlotte was murdered. One thing is for sure: Torben Helle is unqualified to catch a killer, and the killer knows it…It’s book two in a series, but can be read as a standalone.
A dead art historian. Cold War skulduggery.
A reluctant Danish sleuth. And an extremely hungry dog.
Dame Charlotte Lazerton - eminent art historian and mentor of Danish academic Torben Helle - is dead. And to make things worse, she was found partially eaten by her Irish wolfhound, Mortimer. While the police believe that she died of natural causes, Torben becomes convinced that Charlotte was murdered, although as usual no one pays any attention to him. That is, until he gains the confidence of a policeman who has watched too many Nordic Noir television shows and is ready to listen to any Scandinavian in a fetching woolly jumper.
Aided by his old friend Leyla, Torben soon realises that there are plenty of people who might have wanted Dame Charlotte dead, from her competitors for a prestigious academic presidency to old enemies from her time in intelligence during the Cold War. One thing is for sure: Torben Helle is woefully unqualified to catch a killer, and the killer knows it...
