For those who are reading or are going to read "Amsterdam" by McEwan, let us consider these ideas:
1st: The title of the book: why is it called so? It is obvious that the city plays an important part in the end of the story but is there a further meaning to this name? Is it the symbol for something else that runs through the story?
2nd: Could the woman who died and who represents the axis of the story be a real person or is it only a fictional character?
Happy New Year and I hope I'll see you Friday 9 January.

I have still read only a third of the book. With this information, I think the title is related to Amsterdam as important place where euthanasia is not illegal. Two of the main characters, Clive and Vernon who are old friends, do a promise to each other: if one of them were seriously ill, the other would help him to die quickly.
As José Mª Says, Amsterdam is important because of that aspect of the city, not because anything happens there. Well, that is not really the case, but you have to read on ...
It´s murder!! Amsterdam is the scene of a double mutual murder.
As José Mª said it is murder ... but let us not disclose anything else about the story. I encourage everybody to read this novel.
