Three missing girls. Only one body. Where are the others?

1671, Delft

Three young girls have been abducted from their homes. The body of one has been found in a shallow grave. The other two are still missing. The murder has shocked everyone in the peaceful city of Delft, and the mayor is desperate to catch the perpetrator before panic can spread any further.

With the bitterly cold January weather intensifying, it is doubtful that the other two girls are still alive. But whoever took them is still at large.

The mayor requests the help of Master Mercurius, a gifted cleric from a nearby university, and local artist Vermeer, who uses his skills to sketch the crime scenes.

Can they find the missing girls before it's too late? Will Mercurius be able to track down the killer?

Or will more victims succumb to Death in Delft?

Totally absorbing,great plot, brilliantly read.
And as an artist myself, lovely to have Vermeer involved.
Off to buy his other books.

A joy

An interesting and engaging story, only marred by the narrator's intonation at the end of sentences spoken by the main character. Because of this, I would choose to read the book rather than listen to the audiobook.

The story moves along well. The setting gives insight into the lives of medieval Dutch. A good detective story looking forward to the next one

Couldn't put this down

An ejoyable story with some interesting and likable characters. it has made me want to learn more about the city of Delft and it's citizens. The intonation of the narrator seemed slightly odd sometimes but does not spoil the story which is gentle but well paced. I would read or listen to it again and intend to get the next in the series.

very enjoyable

I liked the story and characters. The narrator has a pleasant voice, but he had the same intonation in nearly every sentence, which made it a bit hard to listen to.
