De Cock en de moord in extase by A.C. Baantjer

Why read the book?

A cash transport van is robbed. The driver is killed during the raid. That gives De Cock and his colleagues a heavy case to deal with.

The synopsis is short and does not say who carried out the raid or how the case is solved.

This is the eighteenth book in the series about the Amsterdam detective De Cock of the Warmoesstraat station.

Favourite quote

What I Loved

This case moves from a robbery rather than a quiet body, which gives it a different feel. A killing during an armed raid puts a clock on the work.

It is still a De Cock book at heart. The Amsterdam setting and his patient method shape how the case is followed.

Key Takeaway

A robbery of a cash van and the killing of its driver hand De Cock a demanding case to crack.

Note

This book is only available in Dutch
