Love in Amsterdam (Inspector Van Der Valk)
3 journalers for this copy...
Alluring, unstable, and frantically self-absorbed, Elsa de Charmoy was a dangerous woman, and now she's a dead one, shot with a gun bought by her former lover. Sulking in an Amsterdam jail, he swears it's been years since he saw Elsa, but Inspector Van der Valk isn?t quite ready to be persuaded. Like Inspector Maigret (to whom he is often compared), Van der Valk tends to pick apart the details, ideally over a good meal. And while Van der Valk's ruminations may frustrate his more action-minded colleagues, they inevitably yield a surprising resolution.
Freeling is/was an Englishman, and Love in Amsterdam was first published in 1962, this print 2005. I love exploring new detectives around the world, and Van der Valk reminded me of some of the others from the central Europe a while back, Maigret to the Amsterdam ones.
