Book review: A Cold Death In Amsterdam

LOTTE MEERMAN is a cold-case detective with the Amsterdam police. Following a tip-off, she is re-examining a 10-year-old unsolved murder.

It seems straightforward enough — a cuckold husband shoots his rival — until she discovers some discrepancies in the original investigation, which was led by her father, also a detective, now retired.

Against her better judgement, Lotte decides to cover for him and doesn’t tell her colleagues or boss that she’s related to the key suspect. The pressure is on to find the real killer before her secret is discovered, or her father will go to jail and she will lose her job.
