Books in Order: A Comprehensive Guide to Katrine Engberg Novels

Katrine Engberg came to novels from dance. She built a successful career as a dancer and choreographer, with work spanning stage and screen, before committing to fiction — and reading paved the way, since she taught herself English on the crime novels of Ruth Rendell, Dorothy Sayers, and Sue Grafton. Her debut, The Tenant, was picked as an 'O, The Oprah Magazine' title to read and named an Indie Next selection, a strong opening hand for a first novel.

The four books here run from The Tenant (2020) to The Sanctuary (2023). Engberg balances suspense against rich character development — a trait she shares with the English-language masters she learned from — and writes from Østerbro, where she lives with her family.
