“The Third Anagram is a thoroughly engaging mystery. I really enjoyed how seamlessly it blends present-day intrigue with history. The fast-paced plot keeps the central puzzle compelling from start to finish. Florence itself becomes an essential, vibrant character throughout the journey. Bas describes the streets, squares, and landmarks with wonderful precision. It felt like following an authentic walking tour through Galileo’s own footsteps. A great read for anyone who loves smart thrillers with a rich sense of place.”

“Absolutely brilliant. Your command of language is extraordinary. It’s not often I read a book that is written so descriptively. I especially enjoyed your use of figurative language and metaphorical prose which was quite outstanding. Even more so for me reading this in English. My wife had the same response when she read it in Dutch and was equally amazed at the way your story gripped her imagination and how smoothly it flowed – as if you had been writing books all your life. She is reading constantly so can pick a good author from an average one. It was easy to read, hard to put down. The premise felt real and so did all the twists and turns, all of which I hadn’t expected. I had a mental image of a film playing out in my head continuously and can just imagine that it would work well if translated to the screen.”

It’s clear you’ve spent a huge amount of time digging into the subject and that knowledge comes across on every page.

I read the (Dutch) original. This English version is faithfully translated, and on the whole I think it gets better the further you read.
