Book Summary:
All series must come to an end. Jeppe Kørner is on leave, taking refuge on what is meant to be a small and quiet island. Naturally, the more time he spends with the locals, the more he realizes something very dark lurks beneath the surface.
Meanwhile, Anette Werner is leading an investigation that seems to be leading her in circles. More accurately, they keep taking her back to Bornholm. These two stories are about to collide, bringing our two heroes together again.
My Review:
I swear it was last year I sat down to read The Tenant. Now you’re telling me that not only is The Sanctuary the fifth in the series, but it’s the final? What? Where did the time go? I may have missed the last three novels in this series, but I couldn’t resist checking out the end!
One of the things I love about Katrine Engberg’s writing is how atmospheric her mysteries/thrillers are. It feels like you’re really there, all while sending chills down your spine. You know, the sort of writing that will ultimately make you grateful it’s not all really happening.
I forgot how much I loved the main characters and their chemistry. It makes for a fun read and helps to balance the darker tones of their investigations. And believe me – the plot gets plenty dark. It has to be when the case’s core is a dead body in a suitcase. Still, I’m happy to have checked out the finale of this series! I will have to go back and read the rest at some point.
Highlights:
- Scandinavian Thriller
- Nordic Noir
- Final in a series
