Book Overview
A Grijpstra & De Gier Mystery Douwe Scherjoen was a well-to-do livestock dealer from the remote Dutch province of Friesland. Then his corpse was found, half-charred by flames, floating in a dory in Amsterdam's harbour. No one knows why he was in the capital and far from his native village in Friesia but since Grijpstra is Friesian by birth, and can understand the dialogue, he and his partner are dispatched to find the killer - or at least the motive for the crime.

what is a rattle rat?

Although I never did specifically figure out what a rattle rat was, this book is good fun. All of the usual characters have well drawn roles. I highly recommend it!
Existential Humor Meets Murder and Mayhem

A subtle, complex mystery by a writer of unexpected cool. I love nearly all his books, and this is my favorite. On my all-time great mysteries list.
Beautifully Offbeat

His style is unusual and deeply comical or perhaps comically deep. You have to read him for yourself to really understand. For me it was love at first book.
