This review is from: The lovely ladies (Hardcover)

What's the connection between an elderly businessman who's been stabbed to death on the streets of Amsterdam and three lovely Dutch expatriots living as housewives in Dublin? That's the central question of The Lovely Ladies and it's one that extends into a fascinating mystery in the finest Freeling tradition. For any other writer, this book would get five stars, but it isn't quite at the same level as a book like King of a Rainy Country. Intelligent and realistic mystery with well-written characters.
