De Cock en het roodzijden nachthemd by A.C. Baantjer

Why read the book?

De Cock and Vledder of the Warmoesstraat station take on a series of murders. The victims are all women.

Each woman was found dressed in a red silk nightgown. That detail ties the deaths together.

The detectives must find the one person behind them all.

Favourite quote

What I Loved

The repeated detail of the red silk nightgown gives the case a clear shape and a real sense of a pattern to break. De Cock works it the usual way, by talking and looking.

The steady method and the Amsterdam backdrop carry the book.

Key Takeaway

A shared detail across several murders is the thread that leads De Cock to the killer.

Note

This book is only available in Dutch
