Deep Water

(Luitingh-Sijthoff, 2006, 271 pages)

Felix Thijssen’s books are irresistible. He writes beautifully, his plots are easy to follow although they have enough unexpected twists to keep up the tension, and his protagonists show depth and character development. He has written quite a row of books - a series about a friendly criminal, and one about a private detective - but his latest work, Deep Water takes a different turn.
