so-soI liked the idea of this series and protagonist, but it didn't quite click with me. It could be first-in-series syndrome, or it could just have been less good than other books I've read recently. So I wouldn't discourage you from reading this if it interested you.
pickSneaking in a final book for February, and I really enjoyed this. Lotte Meerman investigates cold cases for Amsterdam CID. More than the plot itself, it‘s Lotte‘s internal monologue that makes this feel very real (she‘s one serious mess, with far too many secrets). Some of the other characters feel 2-dimensional in comparison- first novel or just Lotte‘s skewed viewpoint? Not sure. But I‘ll definitely look out for the next in the series.
Started a new audiobook yesterday and so far so good. Lotte, traumatised by her last case (we don‘t yet know what happened), is investigating cold cases. Her current case finds her working with the financial investigations team (including a slightly stereotypical old school bully) and suggests her father is implicated in the failure of the original case. It feels quite Scandi-noir - cold & bleak.
And lots of rocks at low-tide for #litsywalkers
Only a few pages in and liking it so far. I love seeing all the Dutch names and places. Makes me feel.... at home.

pickThis was a random pick up from the library that I started reading right away, it's a standard crime procedural with some interesting bit of side story. The setting of Amsterdam is great and the cold weather is interesting to me in the middle of a Sydney summer. Looking forward to the second book #readingaroundtheworld
In bed getting over the dreaded migraine and trying to do a bit of reading, a debut crime novel by a Dutch Author, written in English. The weather almost feels like a character in this one so far #readingaroundtheworld
