5 copies of A Death at the Hotel Mondrian by Anja de Jager, set in AMSTERDAM.
UK only GIVEAWAY
Love a good mystery series set in Amsterdam? Lotte Meerman is the investigator and each book can be read as a stand alone! The latest is A Death at the Hotel Mondrian.
When Lotte Meerman is faced with the choice of interviewing the latest victim in a string of assaults or talking to a man who claims he really isn’t dead, she picks the interview. After all, the man cannot possibly be who he claims he is: Andre Nieuwkamp was murdered as a teenager over thirty years ago, and it had been a police success story nationwide when the skeletal remains found in the dunes outside Amsterdam had been identified, and the murderer subsequently arrested.
Yet concerned about this encounter, Lotte goes to the Hotel Mondrian the next day to talk to the man, but what she finds is his corpse. And his passport shows that he wasn’t Andre Nieuwkamp as he said, but Theo Brand, a British citizen.
Subsequent DNA tests reveal that the man was Andre Nieuwkamp so now Lotte has a double mystery on her hands and needs to figure out not only why Andre waited so long to tell anyone he was still alive, but also who was the teenager murdered in the dunes all those decades ago.

I’d love to see the tulip fields in bloom
The Anne Frank house and a canal cruise would be top of my list. Many moons ago in back packing days visited Amsterdam and think partied too hard to actually do the tourist trail sadly!
De Efteling, Zaanse Schans, Van Gogh Museum, Amsterdamse Waterleidingduinen because I love to walk, Keukenhof because I love tulips, Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam because I’ve heard it’s fabulous, Madurodam to make the grandkids jealous, Madame Tussauds Amsterdam because I’ve never been to one, Het Nationale Park De Hoge Veluwe because it looks a bit creepy and Nederlands Openluchtmuseum because I love interactive attractions. These are just for starters!
I’d attempt to cycle (it’s been a few years!) and visit Keukenhof as I have very fond memories of visiting when I was in the Brownies many decades ago!
I would love to go and see the bulb fields.
I would love to visit the Anne Frank House and cycle down the Van Gogh Bicycle Path which is meant to be magical at night. Thank you for this chance to win a great book.
I love the idea of cycling round a city that is pro-active in encouraging people to use bikes to get around. Wish more places would do this in the UK. Peterborough is the only place near us where we feel safe cycling around the city.

There are just so many excellent sounding museums that I would just like to visit as many of them as possible, but it would have to include the Rijksmuseum.
I would also like to visit the bulb fields and Keukenhof Gardens.
I would like to do this trip in style by staying at one of the many 5 star hotels, but I would also like to get around by cycle as much as possible, although as I haven’t ridden a bike for many years, I would have to start off in a quiet place to get some practice in!
Oh! and the book sounds great by the way! 🙂
