Reviewer: Faye (Manila, Philippines)
My brother and I first discovered this book lying around the house years ago, and to this day we still pick it up every now and then, read it from cover to cover, and enjoy it immensely. The plot is interesting, the writing is witty, and the characters are engaging, especially Lieutenant Peter van Effen, with his many talents and his decrepit car, and his rather fuzzy-minded boss, the Chief of Police de Graaf. As another reviewer mentioned, the book ends on a calmer note than one would expect, but it doesn't disappoint. And my brother and I still put it down thoroughly satisfied every time.
