De Cock en een dodelijk rendez-vous by A.C. Baantjer
Why read the book?
A murder takes place in the red light district of Amsterdam. This is the area De Cock and Vledder know best.
Despite the familiar ground, the case is not simple. It proves complicated to unravel.
The two detectives have to work through it step by step.
Favourite quote
It was a quarter to eleven and at eleven his shift would end.
What I Loved
Setting the crime in the detectives' own district plays to the strength of the series. De Cock knows the streets and the people, yet still has to dig.
The close knowledge of the area and the steady method are the appeal.
Key Takeaway
Even on home ground, a murder can be hard to solve, and local knowledge only takes De Cock so far.
Note
This book is only available in Dutch
