The Tenant

Very dark and twisted, I loved this one.
The plot was extremely cleverly crafted. It was well thought out, imaginative and beautifully written.
The characters were an odd and quirky selection, but fit perfectly into the plot, adding an extra depth to the storyline.
I would definitely recommend this book.

The tennant is the debut novel from Katrine Engberg & I think she is on to a winner with her detective duo Jeppe & Annette, Jeppe is a tortured character who is fighting his own demons since his failed marriage, Annette is his colleague & likes to rub Jeppe up the wrong way but deep down she cares about him & they do work well together, . Set in Copenhagen her characters are engaging & have been well written, the writing is graphic in places but you can not write a murder novel without being graphic, all in all she has written a great thriller full of twists & turns that will keep you engaged to the end & I look forward to reading more from her.

The Tenant is a Scandinavian mystery murder thriller set in Copenhagen.A young girl is found murdered in her apartment and Detectives Jeppe Korner and Anette Werner are Investigating Officers .I loved this book it was fast paced ,plenty of interesting characters to investigate,many surprises,a really good Nordic thriller .I look forward to reading more in the series about Jeppe and Anette when they are translated .Many thanks to the Publisher the Author and NetGalley for my copy in return for an honest review .

This is probably the best Scandinavian police/crime/murder book I have read. It moves along at a very good pace, characters are detailed at just the right depth and it even has the odd dash of humour!
Don't think it has any flashback chapters - moving along day by day.
The full explanation and revealing of culprit(s) is not completely done until the final pages.
Definitely a book not to be missed

This year there seems to have been a real dearth of new Scandinavian noir. Perhaps yet another victim of the Coronavirus? It was a real joy to discover, The Tenant, a new Danish novel.
Katrine Enberg has a real talent for looking at the dark side of intimate relationships. This is as tense and gripping as anything I've read this year. The ending is a surprise, both utterly shocking and plausibly inevitable, and yet still leaving space for some uplifting moments that threaten to bring a year to the eye.
Perfect in so many ways.

An excellent police procedural with detectives Jeppe Kørner and Anette Werner at its centre. Jeppe is your typical depressed Scandinavian detective who hasn’t recovered from his divorce. Werner has a much more upbeat personality which is a constant source of irritation for Jeppe. The interactions between them are an entertaining part of the book.

A young woman has been found brutally murdered in her apartment and in a way that has been described by her landlady in a novel she is writing. There are very few clues to what seems to have been a meticulously planned crime and suspects abound. When another murder takes place Kørner and Werner are in a race against time to identify the culprit.

This well plotted novel is a full of intrigue and clever twists. The writing is fast paced and there is plenty of action. The ending is pretty clever. I raced through this book in a day. It will appeal to readers of Jo Nesbo and Jussi Adler-Olsen.

Thank you to NetGalley and Hodder Books for an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

A Scandinavian crime noir, another fantastic story in this genre. Always a great story line, dark and moody as usual. A great read, well recommended.

Set in Denmark, this was a quirky murder mystery which became more complex as the novel unfolded and we found out more about the past lives of the main characters. Finding out about life in Copenhagen made a welcome change from the usual Norwegian and Swedish backdrops which seem so abundant. Definitely an author to watch.
