About this listen
In the dozy Danish provinces, death hides among the dusty bric‑a‑brac…
The elderly volunteers at the second-hand shop keep dropping dead. Heart attacks. Strokes. A simple case of old age, say the police. Sad but inevitable.
Newly retired Mrs Mortensen begs to differ. This "Danish Miss Marple" and her dachshund, Mortensen III, sniff a sinister pattern.
Sharp‑tongued, sharp‑eyed, and fueled by justice and cake, Mrs Mortensen launches her own probe, stirring gossip, grudges, and small-town spats. The deeper she digs, the surer she gets: someone's picking off shop volunteers, one "oops" at a time.
Can this tea-spiller out-sleuth a sly slayer before she (or Mortensen III) becomes the next "accidental" casualty?
Forget Scandi‑Noir: this is hygge homicide with a giggle. Perfect for fans of cheeky whodunnits, Scandinavian mysteries and Richard Osman's The Thursday Murder Club.
Anne Grue is a bestselling Danish crime novelist, creator of TV-adapted detective Dan Sommerdahl, now turning to humorous Danish cosy crime with amateur sleuth Mrs Mortensen.
