About this listen

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?

There were so many moments that I found myself chuckling or laughing out loud. All I can say is women are women in any century. Plus one of my favorite narrators, Alex “of the sexy husky voice” Wyndham, was reading. Oh.. the swooning 😏

Surprised by all the good humor

I thoroughly enjoyed this story. Alex Wyndham brought the main character to life and gave great rhythm to the presentation.
The story is original and yet comfortably typical. It is surprisedly funny and has a feel of reading a personal journal in which the writers personality shines through.
Already started the second book and I am liking it even more.
Well done!

I really enjoyed it and especially liked the narrator and dry humor. I have visited Leiden and Delft and thought the area and era were well portrayed.

Good listen!

I have read or listened to hundreds and hundreds of books. A lot of them historical fiction or medieval mysteries. This was the most enjoyable and entertaining book I have ever read !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I laughed out loud many times. The narrator was also one of the very best I have listened to. I have already bought all the other books on Audible by this author. Now I am going in search of other books the narrator has done.

VERY ENTERTAINING
