De Cock en de smekende dood by A.C. Baantjer
Why read the book?
Two men are found murdered. They come from the higher circles of Amsterdam, and they die in the flat of a call girl.
The case falls to De Cock. His task is to work out who killed them and why. The synopsis stays brief and does not give the details or the answer.
This is the nineteenth book in the series about the Amsterdam detective De Cock of the Warmoesstraat station.
Favourite quote
On the finely carved pulpit of the old Westerkerk in Amsterdam there stood a tall, stately minister.
What I Loved
The mix of rich men and a call girl's flat sets up a case that crosses different parts of the city. That contrast is a familiar strength of the series.
As ever, the pleasure is De Cock himself. He takes his time and works through the people involved with care.
Key Takeaway
Two well-placed Amsterdam men die in a call girl's flat, and De Cock has to find who killed them.
Note
This book is only available in Dutch
