The Tenant has the makings of a cinematic noir thriller, but there's an understated quality that makes it feel subdued if not even a bit boring. That being said, I kind of appreciate the banality of its characters because it adds an air of realism to the kind of story that works well with it. The plot develops naturally and while it didn't keep me on the edge of my seat, it did keep me guessing and wondering.

OH BOY OH BOY OH BOY! This is an awesome start to what I hope will be a long series of books. This is not your typical "nordic noir". It kept me on the edge of my seat for most of the book.

My thanks to Netgalley and Gallery, Pocket Books for this advanced readers copy. This book is set to release in January, 2020.

Liked it a lot until about 3/4 of the way through. Then it seemed too predictable.
