The Harbour Master by Daniel Pembrey

At times, I found this hard to follow, but it didn’t deter my enjoyment of the story at all. There are many different threads, and when woven together, form a much bigger picture that the reader couldn’t possible come up with on their own. The story itself is actually deceivingly detailed. I’ve never been to Amsterdam but Daniel Pembrey paints a very vivid picture with his words and it sounds like a city that I would love to visit.

I really enjoyed the sense of place in The Harbour Master. What follows is a story of murder, corruption and human traffickers and Henk is unsure of who he can trust. The Harbour Master follows Henk van Der Pol as he finds himself in the vicinity of the discovery of a young woman’s body in Amsterdam Harbour. Especially as the follow-up, Night Market, has been released this year and I’m on the blog tour for it late next month.

I had the pleasure of meeting him last year at an event in Goldsboro Books so I figured it’s high time o read this book. I’ve decided to cheat on my TBR a little and I’ve had Daniel’s book on my TBR for ages.
