The Tenant by Katrine Engberg
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
I didn't love this book, and I didn't dislike it either. It was just kind of there for me. I found myself reading and enjoying it, but not really fully engaged.
I had a hard time liking the main male character (he was extremely whiny the entire time) and the female character seemed underdeveloped. There were a ton of random side plots that could have been axed without a huge detrimental effect.
The plot overall was intriguing but it seemed like the crime was solved by a lot of coincidence than actual detective work.
I know this book was a translation of a Nordic book, so maybe I'm missing something.
I don't regret reading this book, but I don't see myself reading any further in the series. It earns a solid 2.5 from me.
Thanks to NetGalley for an ARC to read and review.
