I love this author, especially when I can listen to his writing with an excellent narrator.  This story jumps in with murders, money laundry, assassins-for-hire, and wonderful characters.

What fun!  I hope Mr Osman manages to keep both series going, but as long as he writes his brand of humour and human collection, I will be reading - and sharing.  Please keep Rosie in the mix, and there just aren't enough crazy Dutchmen like Henk in current fiction.  Highly recommended - and i'm about to gift a copy to my own crazy Dutch dad.  He's going to love it.
