The Dutchmans Dilemma (The Dutchman Chronicles, #2)

The story concerns events in New Amsterdam during the week or so in that English ships come to invade and take possession from the Dutch. Pieter Tonneman, the first Schout sheriff , newly widowed, has also recently lost his closest friend by suicide. While sitting on the bank of the river fishing and mourning, he is witness to a killing. When the murderer discovers what Pieter has seen, he throws Pieter in the river. When he comes to and can't find a trace of the corpse, he doesn't know whether to believe his memory or to blame it on too much drink.

A serious fire in the Jewish section of the city takes his mind off the murder for a while, especially because there he meets Racquel Mendoza, an attractive "widow" whose husband has been missing for several months.

All these events become related to each other, and to the English invasion. This is mystery, romance, and history all in one. Sep 26, Fred Rauch rated it really liked it.

Too much of the wrong history and not enough mystery.

A mystery set in the mid-late 's in Manhattan. Interesting story line but what I like best is the historical context of the era. The authors are actually a husband and wife team who write historical mysteries together.
