You'll probably enjoy all of the titles (originally) published by De Lees Kamer. I recommend <i>Een afgesloten huis</i>. <br /><br />If you like neo-orthodox mysteries with locked rooms and gruesome murders, you'll enjoy <i>Een afgesloten huis</i>. En dat in het Nederlands. Je verwacht het niet. <br /><br />TomCathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03415176301265218101noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-85173136687119562932015-02-23T18:49:25.967+01:002015-02-23T18:49:25.967+01:00Oh, I definitely enjoyed the book.

I was juggling between "The Laatste Kans" and another book and they both happened to try to do the same thing, so I caught on quite fast, but despite that, I had a great time with it.Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5516189026477178777.post-48625052295556236502015-02-23T16:42:36.343+01:002015-02-23T16:42:36.343+01:00B-but we'll be WW3 veterans by the time that r...B-but we'll be WW3 veterans by the time that review is published! <br /><br />Did you think it was any good? I still think it's one of the best Dutch detective novels I have read to date.

And a 1000 files covering hundreds of cases is an impressive accomplishment, but I'm saying that with the comfortibility of years of volumes still ahead.

Some of his older (pre-Conan) series/one-shots also deal with sports, like kendo in Yaiba and baseball in 4-Ban Third.<br /><br />Also, because of the way manga are serialized, collected volumes are seldom seen as particular milestones in publication history of any given series; this is usually reserved for special chapter numbers (they are at file 919 now, so maybe something at file 1000?)Ho-Linghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04673330638260132388noreply@blogger.com
