Books in Order: A Comprehensive Guide to Katrine Engberg's Novels

Katrine Engberg had a whole creative career before her first novel: the Danish author spent years as a dancer and choreographer, working in television and theater. That stage training shows in her crime fiction — she stages a scene like someone who has actually blocked one, with movement and dialogue rendered in vivid, deliberate detail — and her debut, The Tenant, drew wide attention, including a spot as an Indie Next Pick.

This guide collects four of her Kørner and Werner novels, from The Tenant in 2020 to The Sanctuary in 2023. Engberg lives in Østerbro with her family, and for anyone drawn to Scandinavian crime fiction with strong characters at its center, she belongs on your radar.
