De Cock en het lijk op drift by A.C. Baantjer

Why read the book?

The body of a woman is found at the Westerdoksdijk in Amsterdam. By the usual rules this would be a case for the harbour police.

It soon becomes clear that the woman was murdered. Because of that, De Cock and Vledder are brought in.

The two detectives take over and begin their investigation.

Favourite quote

What I Loved

The waterside setting and the handover from the harbour police give the case a clear starting point. De Cock takes it on once murder is certain.

The Amsterdam docks and the familiar partnership carry the book.

Key Takeaway

A body by the water becomes De Cock's case once it is plain that someone killed her.

Note

This book is only available in Dutch
