I wanted a quick atmospheric mystery to kick off my vacation. This was.... different. While it was interesting to read a murder mystery that mostly stayed with the main suspect, I would‘ve liked more detective work.

That glorious feeling when you trade your day jammies for night jammies. #anubis
#ReadingEurope2020.
The unstable,dangerously sexy, Elsa de Charmoy, is shot, presumably by one of her lovers.One ex-lover sits in jail, accused of her murder.The contemplative,genial,food connoisseur, Inspector Van der Valk, conducts his interviews over coffee, whiskey, meals.The ensuing conversations create the bulk of the novel.Frustration with this structure led me to almost bail.Something intangible kept me listening.I am so happy I did! ❤️
