I suspect it was a short story.....within the excellent Vos series. Btw I live in NL and was skeptical but have really thoroughly enjoyed your Vos series. The fox!

After writing so many books with the same main characters solving various crimes, like Nic Costa and his gang, do you get “stale” on plot/setting/dialogue ideas?

I make a point of not focusing entirely on a single series. Over the years I've written different characters and stories in Rome, Amsterdam and Copenhagen. Wouldn't want to just focus on a single series for the very reasons you say.
The Savage Shore is the first Costa book in nine years and the next is a standalone set in the Faroes Islands. You have to keep challenging yourself in writing to make sure you don't go stale or find it 'easy' - it isn't and never should be.(less)
