2000s: The Copenhagen police find that fact and fiction are starting to merge…
The Tenant
What you need to know before your trail
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. They very quickly establish a link between the victim, Julie Stender, and her complex landlady, Esther de Laurenti. 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 more urgent.
But is Esther guilty or merely another victim in a far more dangerous game of vengeance? Anette and Jeppe must dig more deeply into the two women’s pasts to discover the secret that links them both.

Copenhagen is dark in The Tenant
The city is more of a background than a major player but there is still plenty of national and Scandi flavour. The police station is perhaps the most common setting and the fictional apartment downtown. The city is one where crime is relatively minimal and when it happens, it’s nothing too gory and horrific. However, this time, there is a murder in an apartment. The place where the landlady is writing a novel and this apparently seems to mirror the crime just discovered in real life…..
Plenty of Scandi flavour just not in the setting.
