Notă biografică

He researches songs at Newcastle University, and has written scholarly tomes on Napoleon, ballad-singing, and most recently the London streets, with 2022's Vagabonds. He is a BBC New Generation Thinker, appearing frequently on Radios 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 a forthcoming major motion picture. Helle & Death is his first novel for adults.
Recenzii
An ingenious plot, witty asides and lively characterisations... If Carlsberg did whodunnits they would probably be something like this
A witty repurposing of the Golden Age country house whodunnit for the modern age
Nicely done, with some entertaining asides about the nature of detective fiction: recommended reading for a long winter night
Combines classic country house murder mystery with an ensemble comedy caper in a glorious debut
An entertaining whodunnit in the classic Christie style
Jensen has taken themes from dozens of golden age novels and made something new - and funny - out of them... Self-conscious in the best way, with an array of literary references, this is an excellent cosy crime novel
A spine-chilling, Agatha Christie-esque whodunnit
A locked-room mystery that gleefully winks to its form... Full of sharp turns, the plot is equally engaging, reminiscent of the Knives Out films, and drawing from the many mysteries it name-checks. This craftily entertaining novel's surprising conclusion fits comfortably in that lineage
A heart-warming blend of a classic whodunnit with a modern spin
A glorious feat that intrigues, surprises and delights from page one. This gem is a solid gold revival of the golden age whodunnit, with a delicious Danish twist
A love letter to the classic Country House murder mystery... if Agatha Christie had written The Big Chill it would have been very much like this
A brilliant update on the traditional country house murder. Oskar Jensen has a wonderfully descriptive style, pin-point accurate and loaded with atmosphere. If this is the start of Scandi-Cosy, I'm all for it
Oskar Jensen is a sparkling new voice in crime fiction. Loved it
A wonderful mix of golden age tributes, scandi not-so-noir, puzzling mystery, and a study of the sort of friendships that linger across the years, often against the odds... A belter of a book, and I'm already anxiously awaiting the sequel
A glittering jewel in the crown of modern country house mysteries. We must have more of Torben Helle! Truly excellent
A clever, elegant mystery in the Golden Age tradition, though it's set in the present day. Nods to my favourite fictional sleuth of the era made it even more special
A highbrow cosy that takes a playful approach to the tropes and fetishes of the genre while effortlessly twisting the reader in circles. A hugely accomplished fiction debut
A brilliantly clever murder mystery with an alluring cast and fiendish puzzle at its heart. Perfect for fans of the country house whodunnit looking for a contemporary take on a classic tale
Cunningly clever. I defy you to guess whodunnit. Golden age mystery
As cunning as Christie, as elegant as Sayers, with a dash of Donna Tartt thrown in for good measure. Helle & Death is not only a fiendishly clever mystery on par with the best the Golden Age has to offer, but a deft character study in the complex entanglements of old friendships. Witty, erudite, funny, and wonderfully well-written, I am in awe of what Oskar Jensen has achieved with this book
A clever, funny, sparklingly fresh twist on classic country house murder
A clever and funny country house murder... brilliant
Super tight plotting with a great cast of characters and wonderful Sorkin-esque dialogue. Huge recommendation for fans of Agatha Christie and Rian Johnson
A charmingly quirky protagonist, a bleakly vivid setting, and a cleverly plotted country house murder make for a brilliant read! Helle and Death is a beautifully written tribute to the golden age classics
Beautifully written and teeming with intrigue... Had me hooked from the first page and guessing until the last
Full of skulduggery and humour and with a denouement that will take you by surprise... a refreshingly modern take on the classic country house murder mystery and will no doubt provide a fresh fix for lovers of golden age crime
Agatha Christie meets Friends Reunited... Witty and pithy, this murder mystery has all the classic elements of a country house caper. A lot of fun!
Fiendishly clever! An absolute masterclass in Golden Age detective fiction, laced with wit and ingeniously plotted. Utterly magnificent
The setting is so vivid, and the perfect take on an updated Golden Age country house murder mystery. The characters are well crafted and the pace is cracking
Intriguing and intricately plotted... A compelling and engaging mystery with a truly disorientating dénouement
A smart, humane, post-modern mystery that skewers the tropes of the genre and crafts an engaging mystery... Jensen clearly has a talent
