Book Log 2022 #9: The Corpse on the Dike by Janwillem van de Wetering

I've tried a few times over the years to get into this series of books featuring Amsterdam police detectives Grijpstra and de Gier, liking the books well enough to come back to them from time to time but not so much as to make a dedicated attempt at completing the series. This book will do nothing to change matters in either direction. 

The story itself is interesting enough - a hoarder is shot dead, and while a neighbor who is a competitive pistol shooter may be to blame - but I never quite connected with the plot as it played out. It feels flat to me, not sure if it's an issue with the writing or the nature of the characters.

So I'm not going to rush into the next book, but I'll probably pick it up eventually.
