A mystery that's light and dark,
This review is from: The Maine Massacre (Amsterdam Cops) (Paperback)
Most of the time you read mysteries for a quick easy read. This detective team is deep, soulful, and pragmatic all at once. I love the atmosphere this book contains and the ability to inject a realistic soul into the writing. I have only read one other book in the series, but I will be reading more. This is a perfect mystery to discover. You get Amsterdam, philosophy, and a great who done it.

Atmospheric Thriller!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Maine Massacre (Amsterdam Cops) (Paperback)
I loved this book. I've loved all the books in the series, but this one really sucked me in. The characterizations and plot descriptions are so realistic I felt as if I were in rural Maine too. Like the last reviewer, and also a foreigner, I found myself giggling at the cultural differences- they are so true! I've recommended this book and author to all my friends- mystery lovers or not, this guy has something for everyone.

de Gier and the commisaris do America.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Maine Massacre (Amsterdam Cops) (Paperback)
I don't even care much for mysteries but this onecaught my eye while in a physical bookstore looking for the new Burke novel by Andrew Vachss. The book is interesting because the characters are real; this one gives a peculiarly Dutch perspective on American culture, which at times is laugh-out-loud funny, like de Gier, in his eternally curious cop mode, wondering why on earth anyone would buy bags of ice.
