I am pleased to welcome Heidi Eljarbo to my blog today to share the blurb for her novel, “The Dutch Muse.” I would like to thank The Coffee Pot Book Club and Heidi Eljarbo for allowing me to participate in this blog tour. 

Blurb: 

 A ruthless thief leaves a private Dutch gallery with a coveted seventeenth-century painting. The owner lies unconscious on the floor. Art historian Fabiola Bennett, on vacation in Holland, takes on the case. 

 Amsterdam, 1973.
It’s late summer, and Fabiola and Pippa join their friend, Cary, for a few days of sightseeing, museums, and riding bikes around the beautiful city. 

 For the first time in her life, Fabiola feels a pang of jealousy, and rude comments from a gallerist make her doubt her abilities

Then, unexpectedly, Cary’s Dutch client, Lennard van de Hoek, is brutally struck down, and a baroque portrait by Ferdinand Bol is stolen. Fabiola pushes aside her problems and jumps into danger without hesitation. The list of suspects is long, and with a cold-blooded criminal at large, they must constantly be on the alert. 

Amsterdam, 1641.
Ferdinand Bol has completed his five-year training with Master Rembrandt van Rijn and is ready to set up his own studio. The future looks bright, and Ferdinand sets a goal to become a widely sought-after and, hopefully, prosperous master portraitist. 

 
Just when Ferdinand’s career starts to flourish—and patrons and customers discover his exceptional talent—one of his models confesses she’s in deep trouble, and he drops everything to help her. 

 

This is a fast-paced and captivating who-done-it set in the Netherlands—the fourth installment and a spin-off from the Soli Hansen Mysteries.
