THE NUMBER ONE GERMAN BESTSELLER
Feel-good, funny and touching with a fiendish mystery - this is cosy crime Deutschland-style
After an exhausting stint as the most powerful woman in the world, Angela has retired to the seemingly idyllic village of Kleinfreudenstadt-on-Dumpfsee. But baking and hiking just aren’t as exciting as global meltdowns or deranged US presidents. And the ex-Chancellor’s fellow villagers all seem to want something, from her AfD-voting neighbour to the local aristocrat eager to bury the family’s Nazi past.
So when the eccentric Baron von Baugenwitz is found poisoned in a castle dungeon locked from the inside, new life stirs in Angela. Finally, a problem to solve! Accompanied by her fearless pug, she embarks on a perilous hunt for the killer. Will she succeed? Or will one of the six women suspects finish her off first?
