I am a London-based native Dutch speaker who writes in English. I draw inspiration from cases that my father, a retired police detective, worked on in the Netherlands. After having worked in The City for 20 years, I am now a full-time writer.

Hi
I am the opposite of you in one way in that I am English guy who lives in NL in t’Gooi! Have just finished the first Lotte book and wanted to say how much i enjoyed your writing, the story and your evocation of a city and country I have come to know well. Just about to buy the second one and may there be many more!
regards and thanks
Ross
Hi Ross, ‘t Gooi is a nice place to live. Thanks for getting in touch and letting me know you enjoyed the book.
Met vriendelijke groeten, Anja
Hi Anja, in this strange world of lockdown your books have transported me to Amsterdam. I can smell the coffee shops and something stronger lingering in the air. Having just finished my last Donna Leon book I thought I’d never find an author with the same ability to draw character and place plus keep you guessing right until the end. Keep writing and keep safe! Pauline
Anja..
Of all the people I used to work with in London, I think Im most impressed with what you have achieved, in being a published and successful author .
Seriously well done…. if I ever find a copy of your books in Botswana I will be sure to by them
Roger Turski
Hi Roger, thanks so much for your comment! Maybe Amazon will deliver to Botswana?
I have just read both books and thoroughly enjoyed them. I read them both in four days. An absorbing read.
Hi Anja,
Vandaag via mijn vader, die jouw vader ontmoette op de Alkmaarse politie reünie, gehoord over je werk ! Wat leuk dan ook om je site te bezoeken en wat van je werk te lezen!
Ook ik ken veel verhalen die mijn vader deelde in mijn jeugd maar heb zeker niet het talent om er een boek mee te schrijven! Ik ga zeker je boeken lezen, ben dol op dit genre!
Hartelijke groet,
Annemieke Molenaar
Wat leuk en bedankt voor het berichtje. Ik hoop dat je het boek spannend en interessant vindt. Hartelijke groet, Anja
Love your books. Reading Death in Rembrandt Square now. Looking forward to your 5th book Death at the Hotel Mondrian. P.S. You should update your “About Anja” on the website.
Thanks for getting in touch! Great to hear you’re enjoying the books. (I’ve updated the ‘About Anja’ bit – thanks for pointing that out)
