philcrofts's rating
I am 75% of the way through this and really enjoying it. It is pretty plausible, atmospheric and engaging. It is well acted (as far as I as a non Flemish speaker can tell) and the characters come to life.
A couple of flaws: whoever decided that sluice was the correct translation for whatever the Flemish word is should be sacked. It is a bad translation, it really makes you go 'what???' every time it comes up. It may be a possible literal translation, that doesn't make it correct here. With a Flemish speaker to hand, I could do better. And little quality control and continuity details crop up: e.g if bodies had been around long enough to stink, how come the candles burning around them were all hardly burnt down at all?
But as I say, 9/10 and very enjoyable - well done Belgium!
