review:
'The Midas Murders' by Pieter Aspe is the second in the Van In series. These books take place in Bruges, and feature a world weary police inspector.

This time around there are a lot of plates spinning. There are a couple suspicious deaths that seem unrelated. One is a man found dead in the streets, and another is a friend of Van In who dies in a house fire. Then there is a bombing in a tourist area. To top matters off, Van In may lose his house to the bank. There are threads that lead to the Nazis. There is a monument climbing bomber. To top it off Hannelore is craving pickles which makes Van In even more anxious than normal.

I felt like the first book was more tightly plotted, and this one seemed a bit scattered, but when it was all said and done, I liked it. I did like that Hannelore spent more time with Van In this time around, but, overall, I think I preferred the first book in the series.

I received a review copy of this ebook from Open Road Integrated Media and NetGalley in exchange for an honest review. Thank you for allowing me to review this ebook.
