About this book

Ellewoud is a quiet town in the east of the Netherlands: people work, eat, sleep. And every year, on the night of the 3rd to the 4th of November, someone vanishes. Nobody talks about it, until journalist Nora Veld arrives for what she thinks is a routine story.

A twenty-part B2 thriller told in idiomatic, native-level Dutch, following Nora as her simple assignment turns into the town’s oldest secret.

Written at B2 (upper intermediate): you read longer texts comfortably and pick up nuance, idiom, and implied meaning. Not sure about your level?
