From Bruges with Love

Corruption. The third Pieter Van In crime mystery by Pieter Aspe is titled, From Bruges with Love. Squeamish readers may want to take a pass, or read quickly past some of the graphic and grisly descriptions. I marveled at the way Aspe would alternate between the gruesomeness of a crime scene and the charming domestic life of Van In and his wife, Deputy prosecutor Hannelore Martens. Hannelore is pregnant, and she wants Van In to cut back on his smoking, drinking and overeating. Van In’s persistence in a case involving bones found while digging for a home renovation leads to the revelation of a crime and cover up by some very powerful individuals. Fans of crime fiction should find something to enjoy in this book. Rating: Four-star (I like it) Click here to purchase From Bruges with Love from amazon.com.
