Format:Paperback
I didn't know what to expect, as this was my first introduction to this author or any dutch author for that matter.
This book grabs you and won't let go until the very end. Even then it is reluctant. You immeadiately bond with the two qwirky detectives as they discover clues concerning a rare homicide in Amsterdam, and they discover themselves.
Outstanding, interesting, offbeat and just plain fun. Worth the time..

Believable and quirky cops solve the crime!
9 April 1997
Format:Paperback
I ran into this author by accident, browsing in the mystery category, and I am delighted that I did. This is the second book I've read from the Amsterdam Cops series, and I plan to read them all! The characters are people you'd like to get to know -- believable and quirky. The plot of this particular book takes the reader inside the physical geography of Amsterdam as well as into the minds and world views of the detectives. A man who seems to have no connection to anyone else has been murdered in a run-down house along a city canal. The detectives weave in and out of the Dutch underworld to find the guilty parties. Absolutely delightful and mysterious

My Favorite Cops
24 Jan 2002
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
The Corpse on the Dyke was the very first of the Amsterdam Cops series that I read, initially intrigued on the extremely pulpy title! This was in the 1970s and the first copy I bought was used. I was hooked and read all of them. I love the characters, particularly the Commisaris, and the tales progress in such an unconventional way. The conversations that take place are always worthwhile! I am presently reading them all again, loving them as much as I did 25 years ago. They are timeless.
