De Cock en kogels voor een bruid by A.C. Baantjer

Why read the book?

A young woman is murdered. Around the same time, a former colleague who had been threatened goes missing. De Cock of the Warmoesstraat station suspects the two events are connected.

He takes on the case with his younger colleague Vledder. The synopsis offers little beyond this link, which is the thread they follow.

Favourite quote

What I Loved

The personal angle gives this case weight. A threatened former colleague is closer to home than most victims, and that raises the stakes for De Cock.

The outline is short, so the strengths are the familiar ones. The Warmoesstraat setting and De Cock's patient method hold the story together.

Key Takeaway

Two separate events can share one cause, and spotting the link is half the work.

Note

This book is only available in Dutch
