About This Book
'Delightful... if you love Richard Osman's books, this will be right up your street' TRIP FICTION
After a gruelling stint as the most powerful woman in the world, Angela can finally put her feet up. With her quantum-chemist husband Achim, her bodyguard Mike and their new pug Putin, she has retired to the idyllic north German village of Kleinfreudenstadt-on-Dumpfsee.
But it isn't easy to settle into country life. Baking and hiking just aren't as exciting as global financial meltdowns or deranged American presidents. And Angela's fellow villagers all seem to want something, from her xenophobic AfD-voting namesake to the local aristocrat desperate to bury her 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! Supported by her team of helpers – foremost among them the doughty Putin – she embarks on a perilous hunt for the killer. Will she succeed? Or will one of the six women suspects finish her off first?
This is a warm, funny and sometimes touching read with a compelling mystery at its core – cosy crime Deutschland-style!
