Own
A few hours after he has been reported missing, De Cock and his side-kick Vledder find Petrus van Wijngaarden murdered. In the trunk of his car they find six dead puppies, perished in the heat.
Petrus was an animal rights activist who also delved into the supplying of young dogs to research facilities. He was also engaged in an extra marital affair. All in all there are more than enough motives for his murder.
When more members of the animal activist group end up murdered, it only increases the mystery. But true to form, De Cock does arrive at the right conclusions and unmasks the murderer.
These are fun mysteries. Of course they are all written according to the same formula, and they are not complicated or intricate. But they do make for an easy and fun reading experience.
And reading this book while I actually was in Amsterdam increased my enjoyment.
