“Norwegian P.I. with 20+ years of experience… I wasn’t lying, per se, just bending the truth a little. OK, a lot, but I have been writing crime novels for 23 years. That has to count for something, right?”

After a failed career in writing crime, Norwegian author, Tommy, decides to try his hand at actually preventing crime as a private investigator. How hard can it be, right? The aptly named “Viking P.I.” soon discovers that he has a real talent… for failing!

Case after case, Viking P.I. realizes he has bitten off more than he can chew, but he’s too far in it now. Maybe he’ll actually get better at it if he just keeps trying… or maybe he won’t.

Whether it’s a missing dog, a haunted house, cheating spouses or hunting trolls, Viking P.I. is probably (not) the man for the job! But he’s going to try his best, and there may be a few surprises in store for him along the way.

This series of 6 short and hilariously funny cozy mysteries are sure to make you smile and are the perfect companion for your coffee break. These quick-read mysteries are short and snappy, but full of sweet charm and intrigue.

Will Tommy be able to solve the crimes and make a career for himself in the ‘dark’ underworld of trivial crime investigation? Who knows! You’ll have to read to find out.

This is book 1 in the Viking Private Investigation series and contains the stories:

  • A Dog Named Alfred
  • The Jealous Husband
  • The Scared Superstar
  • The Haunted House
  • Troll Hunting
  • The Burned Widow

So, what are you waiting for? Scroll up and click “Buy Now” to join Viking P.I. on his crazy adventures today!

Meet Tommy: Father, husband, dedicated fire engineer, and bureaucrat. By day, he appears to live a normal nine-to-five life. But as the sun sets—Tommy transforms! Donning a cape emblazoned with a majestic "P" (for Passion, not Pancakes, though he's quite fond of those too), he embarks on a nocturnal odyssey, pen in hand and grin as wide as the moon.

Tommy is the proud author of several books and novellas that have garnered a fanbase numbering in the millions—most of whom reside in his attic, hanging on every word. These aren't just any fans; they're trusted, dusty particles that have been with him through thick and thin, from the spine-tingling suspense of page one to the heartwarming resolutions of his final chapters.

But now, Tommy's gearing up for his grandest adventure yet: braving the fierce and uncharted waters of the living, breathing, (and let's not forget, judging) human audience. He's taking his quirky, short and cozy mystery series—Viking P.I.—to new heights, leaving his loyal attic admirers in suspense. Will he triumph in the realm of the critically alive, or will he return to the comforting embrace of his dust mote devotees? Only time will tell.

With the release of the seventh and eighth books in 2024, Tommy will close the chapter on Viking P.I., paving the way for new, exhilarating projects. So, buckle up, dear reader. Tommy's journey is far from over, and you're invited for the ride—no cape required.

I enjoyed this book immensely. It’s not your usual mystery. It’s a collection of humorous short stories. Lots of laugh out loud moments. You can’t help but like this unlikely private investigator.

4.0 out of 5 stars A fun collection of stories about a quirky Norwegian private eye!

After the writer-hero makes an unforgettable mistake in his marital relationship, he finds himself out on his ear and divorced. Trying to keep body and soul together while he writes his first novel, he turns to working as a private eye.

"Viking Private Investigation: Season One" is a collection of short stories recounting cases from the Viking P.I.’s past, including some ghost-chasing, saving a dentist being trolled on social media, and even helping one of the most famous porn stars in Norway.

I am so glad I picked this book up! You know, every now and then, you just randomly come across a book that turns out to be a little gem? "Viking Private Investigation: Season One" was one of those gems for me. The book was easy-to-read, and the author has a comfortable, self-deprecating writing style that is funny and engaging, and I liked how matter-of-fact and straight-to-the-point his investigations were. Despite the lack of complexity, the stories were still very entertaining. I’ve already gotten the next book in the series; I enjoyed this one so much.

I recommend VIKING PRIVATE INVESTIGATION: SEASON ONE in the Viking P.I. series by Tommy Ueland to mystery readers that don’t want unnecessary complexity in their stories and don’t want to take anything too seriously.

This book is the first in a series devoted to Viking P.I. It is a short investigation story of the most exciting detective I have read in a long time. I thought it was great. The style is addictive. I enjoyed reading this book so much that I wish it was much longer. Luckily for me, there are two other books that will be able to give me a delightful time with Viking P.I. and his crazy adventures.

I enjoyed reading Tommy Ueland's recounting of his first six cases in this book. He admits that he is using his sleuthing to finance is vocation of writing, and you can actually witness the growing maturity of his stories. All the cases take place in Norway and all of them are funny. I was lucky they were not written in Norwegian. I really liked what I was reading, and I recommend that you give this book a try.

4.0 out of 5 stars A collection of short stories. Part cozy mystery and part fictional memoir.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on September 6, 2021

Tommy Ueland is a private investigator. Well, he probably isn’t really, but it’s hard to tell in this book, which mixes some slightly implausible gentle mysteries with a presumably fictionalised version of the author’s life. Each chapter describes a separate case, as Tommy-the-PI bumbles his way from one client to another in an attempt to make some cash to prop up his writing career.

The stories in the separate chapters are not really mysteries in the familiar sense. We don’t find many suspects, alibis or hidden motives in these relatively straightforward cases, but what we get is a bunch of anecdotes about how Tommy, with his trusty Toyota Prius, and a bunch of expensive equipment he rarely gets to make use of, solves the cases. The Tommy in the books is a likeable guy who does his best to get on with everyone. This made for an enjoyable bundle of stories, and it’s very likely that I will buy and read the next books in the series when I need a fun book with some laid-back Norwegian charm
