This was SUCH a good book - full of unexpected discoveries that make you pause your reading marathon for a while to process it all. It also makes you feel like you're trying to solve family mysteries in 17th-century Amsterdam. Odd I know, but such a page-turner. Also, THERE IS A SECOND ONE youhou! (I have not read it yet, but hey: that's a happy surprise).
