The story was good, even if it did not have a great deal to do with Freeling's book "Love in Amsterdam".<br /><br />I was disappointed with the casting: I would have preferred to hear more Dutch accents in a drama where the locale is so important.<br />A minor griple: having a barmaid live in a century-old patrician house on one of the main Amsterdam canals (grachten) is utterly and ridiculously unrealistic.<br /><br />Overall, definitely recommended!Christophehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01978885973806549838noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1443515033089669860.post-83360015895734644682020-09-14T06:13:56.472-07:002020-09-14T06:13:56.472-07:00I watched the program last night; it was just an e...I watched the program last night; it was just an excellent mystery.
