De Cock en de broeders van de zachte dood by A.C. Baantjer

Why read the book?

The synopsis for this book is short. It only notes that the edition opens with an introduction by A.C. Baantjer about death in crime writing.

This is the fifteenth book in the De Cock series. De Cock is the older police detective at the Warmoesstraat station in Amsterdam, and he works with his younger assistant Vledder.

With no plot details given, it is best to read this one without expectations and follow the case as it comes.

Favourite quote

What I Loved

The introduction by Baantjer is a welcome extra, since he drew on real police work in Amsterdam for these books. It adds a little background to the series.

The draw is the usual one. A solid Amsterdam police mystery and De Cock's calm, patient way of working.

Key Takeaway

A standard De Cock mystery, with a short introduction by Baantjer on death in crime fiction at the front.

Note

This book is only available in Dutch
