Another historical fiction, this one set in 1620's Amsterdam about the new wife of a merchant and the secrets of their house.
Great historical detail and richness, characters with depth, well paced, ambiguous mystery, and enough tension throughout. Not necessarily a must read, but certainly an enjoyable one!
