Showing results for "Holland" in Cosy

The night world of Old Town, Portland, Oregon, has gone mad in the grip of gentrification, and at the center of it all is Lucky Supreme, a seedy tattoo parlor, whose proprietor is a street-bred artist with a unique approach to problem solving. Darby Holland has enough on his radar, but when some flash (tattoo artwork) stolen from him resurfaces in California, he can't help himself. His efforts to reclaim it set him on a dangerous path, dragging along his delightfully eccentric colleagues.

Elizabeth Bell runs a quiet household, with no family and no more than the usual number of servants. She passes her time thinking about crime and working on her biography of a relative. When a young cousin comes to stay, life in the house becomes uncharacteristically lively. First, cousin Judy burns a hole in Miss Bell's desk. Next, they spy a burglar on the staircase—a shadowy figure who vanishes without a trace. And finally, Sarah, the nurse, takes the dogs for a walk and never returns. She is found savagely murdered, and she will not be the last to die.

Der erste Fall für die "Hausboot-Detektei". Fünf notorische Pechvögel ermitteln in Amsterdam. Arie, Maddie, Jack, Jan und Elin suchen noch nach ihrem Platz im Leben. Und finden ihn auf einem alten Hausboot, wo sie eine Detektei gründen, um sich den Fällen zu widmen, auf die die Polizei keine Lust hat. Auf dem Deck bauen sie Tomatenpflanzen an, genießen die Amsterdamer Grachtenidylle im Liegestuhl, trinken an trüben Tagen Irish Coffee mit viel Whiskey und ordentlich Sahne und schauen zusammen alte Miss Marple-Filme.
