Girl in the Blue Coat

Story : Hanneke needs to find a girl that disappeared in WWII. I really liked the plot, but the last 100-50 are so confusing and the ,,plot twists” are so predictable. I thought this will be Sherlock Holmes, but Hannake's version, and it is, kinda. There are some amazing intense scenes that give you goosebumps, but it kinda feels useless.
Characters : Hanneke is okay and her past didn't really interest me. The most interesting characters are her friends: Ollie, Judith etc. They work on something and it's so intriguing to see how they plan everything.
Overall : Gripping plot, but falls apart towards the end and I couldn't get attached to Hanneke... I was more interested in Ollie, lol.

I used to love books set in WWII because I love historical reads. Not really the biggest fan of the books anymore.

The book was good, the characters where very interesting and I love the fact that there was a homosexual character. Obviously, the book is very important, so I liked to read a book that was set in the Netherlands. I've traveled past the Hollandsche Schouwburg so many times without realising what happened there in WWII.

But besides that, the book was pretty boring. I didn't love it as much as I thought I would.

But, if you want to read a book that sets in WWII in Amsterdam, then this book is your thing!
