    About this audiobook

    Selected as a Most Anticipated title by People, Parade, Bustle, CrimeReads, She Reads, and more!

    An electrifying work of literary suspense from internationally bestselling author Katrine Engberg, The Tenant—heralded as a “stunning debut” by #1 New York Times bestselling author Kathy Reichs—follows two Copenhagen police detectives struggling to solve a shocking murder and stop a killer hell-bent on revenge.

    When a young woman is discovered brutally murdered in her own apartment with an intricate pattern of lines carved into her face, Copenhagen police detectives Jeppe Korner and Anette Werner are assigned to the case. In short order, they establish a link between the victim, Julie Stender, and her landlady, Esther de Laurenti, who’s a bit too fond of drink and the host of raucous dinner parties with her artist friends. Esther also turns out to be a budding novelist—and when Julie turns up as a murder victim in the still-unfinished mystery she’s writing, the link between fiction and real life grows both more urgent and more dangerous.

    But Esther’s role in this twisted scenario is not quite as clear as it first seems. Is she the culprit or just another victim, trapped in a twisted game of vengeance? Anette and Jeppe must dig more deeply into the two women’s pasts to discover the identity of the brutal puppet-master pulling the strings.

    Evocative and original, The Tenant promises “dark family secrets—and a smorgasbord of surprises” (People).

      I had trouble with the names, but I loved this book. Her characters are very well developed. The plot is sort of what you expect in Nordic Noir, but the characters really shine

      I like the lead copper. Maybe no real surprise at the end but enough of a story to keep me interested.

      Great characterization and writing. As others have said, the ending is not a total shock … but it doesn’t matter so much because you really feel invested in the characters. Really enjoyed this and will listen to the next one in the series.

      I really liked it! It was a book that kept me guessing. Little twists along the way really cleared the path of discovery of the killer. Very well done!

      The audiobook is worth 4 stars in my opinion. I give the written book in my hand 3 stars. The narrator’s voice was worth jacking up the worthiness for an additional star. I enjoyed the book. It was entertaining. But, I expected more. It was OK.

      Interesting and creative storyline. Maybe a bit too long. Intricate plot, but easy to follow. Great narrator!
