The first in the atmospheric Amsterdam-set crime series, which combines the city's old-world charm with contemporary issues of corruption, immigration and crime. A suicide. A drowned man. A sudden death. For some people, it's just another day's work. In Amsterdam, there's a council department known affectionately as the Lonely Funerals team. It exists to arrange burials for the abandoned or unknown dead, with the care and dignity that every life deserves. Pieter Posthumus hasn't been doing the job long, but he's determined to do it well. He finds that he cares deeply about the people whose files land on his desk. So when something doesn't seem quite right about a Moroccan immigrant's 'accidental' drowning, Posthumus starts digging. His quest for justice will lead him down some dangerous paths, and into conflict with some very dangerous men...… (altro)

Kurzbeschreibung
Er ist kein Polizist, kein Privatdetektiv – und trotzdem dreht sich in seinem Leben alles um den Tod. Im »Büro der einsamen Toten« in Amsterdam kümmert sich Pieter Posthumus um die vergessenen Toten – Menschen ohne Angehörige, Menschen, die keiner vermisst – und richtet ihnen ein würdiges Begräbnis aus, mit Musik und Gedichten. Bei seinen Recherchen stößt er auf so manche Ungereimtheit und gerät mitten in seinen ersten Fall: Eine Leiche ist in der Prinsengracht gefunden worden ...
Bewertung
„Das Büro der einsamen Toten“ ist der erste Fall für Pieter Posthumus von Britta Bolt.
Britta Bolt ist das Pseudonym des Autorenduos Britta Böhler und Rodney Bolt.
Mit Pieter haben die beiden einen Ermittler erschaffen, der nicht wie sonst Polizist, Detektiv oder ähnliches ist.
Pieter arbeitet bei der Stadtverwaltung Amsterdam in der Abteilung für Bestattungen, genauer gesagt kümmert er mit seinen Kollegen um anonyme Tote. Er sorgt dafür, dass die Toten ein anständiges Begräbnis bekommen und versucht, zusammen mit seinem Team, Familienangehörige der Verstorbenen ausfindig zu machen.
Der Schreibstil ist sehr detailliert aber trotzdem flüssig. Die unterschiedlichen Handlungsstränge sorgen für reichlich Abwechslung.
Durch die vielen Details zu den Charakteren oder auch dem Handlungsort Amsterdam, kann man sich alles genau vorstellen. Besonders gelungen finde ich die einzelnen Protagonisten, die unterschiedlicher nicht sein könnten und trotzdem perfekt zusammen harmonieren.
Bin gespannt wie es mit PP weiter geht.
Fazit: Spitzenklasse! Dieses Buch sollte man gelesen haben. Absolute Leseempfehlung! ( )

Lonely Graves – So many twists and turns.

Lonely Graves by the duo Britta Bolt is the first in what will be the Posthumus Trilogy an excellently translated work set in their adopted city of Amsterdam. What has been created is an excellent suspense thriller that has bundles of twists and turns. For a first crime thriller this is a winner for the writing duo as the plot is well thought out and well written.

Pieter Posthumus works on the Lonely Funerals team after being moved sideways in the City Council for always going that little bit further than required. The Lonely Funerals team is responsible to make sure all those that die alone do not go unmourned on their final journey. Pieter takes his responsibilities seriously as he tries to trace the families as he finds out as much as he can about those who have died.

A young Moroccan is found dead and has been ruled as a suicide or accident by the police and the case has been closed and passed to the Lonely Funerals team. The job of finding out who this Moroccan is lands at Pieter’s desk which he tackles with relish and starts digging in to this person’s past. This will bring him in to contact with those being investigated by the Secret Police who want to arrest a group of Moroccans for terrorism offences.

Pieter or as he is known PP leads his investigation with all the humanity he can bring and a certain charm. I personally preferred reading PPs investigations that the conflicting investigations of the Secret Police which seem to drag on, who seem intent on shooting themselves in the foot.

Remembering that this is a translation the prose is quite clear and crisp and the editors have worked well. This is not a racy read turning pages at a rate of knots, but it is an enjoyable read with many twists and turns that sets you up for the next book beautifully. ( )

Niet geweldig geschreven, wel spannend en verassend einde. Met Britta Bohler als deel van dit 'schrijversduo'. ( )

politie en paul postumus, werkt voor een bureau dat relaties van onbekende lijken zoekt, lossen samen een moord op.
Veel verwijzigingen naar Amsterdam, veel figuren, afwisselend filmisch geschreven. Doof een beetje als een nachtkaars uit, maar de eindjes komen wel mooi bijelkaar. ook actueel ( )
