Pete the leader of a religious society, Hindist, was found hanging in the society’s house. The police ae investigating but they are having tough time. Is it a suicide or murder? If it’s a murder, who could be the murderer? There are so many suspects to choose from.
Johan is a Papuian lives in the society house and works as a parking police officer. Constanze, Pete’s wife was living in France, but could have flown to Amsterdam. Sergeant deGier begins dating her to get closer and find out more about her.
The story had a steady pace, the characters are somewhat developed, and it is written in the third person point of view. I liked the premise and it was a good beginning to a series but wish this book was a bit better.
