OMINOUS VISTA - A Harz Mountain Cozy Mystery (Vol. II)

  • Cozy Crime featuring an unbeatable investigative duo.
  • The perfect blend of wit and warmth.

The pine forest idyll hides more than just mushrooms ...

There’s a fire in the Harz mountains. Summer houses are burning in the "Green Thumb" allotment garden. However, Police Chief Master Andreas Anton from idyllic Düsterode is not overly alarmed. The yoga fan is simply not the type for alarm.

When a body is found in one of the huts, he does start to worry. This is because his new partner’s 14-year-old son, Finn, who often got into trouble due to provincial boredom, has been missing for days. Andreas rolls up his yoga mat, leashes his dog Mrs. Krause, and investigates.

Naturally, this is not without his new unofficial colleague, Ariane, the head of Harz Tourism and Sensitivity Manager, who actually wanted to make the Harz region more mindful. Ariane takes everything that endangers this goal personally. The fact that Andreas and Ariane are like fire and water doesn't always make collaborating easy, but they know: only together will the Harz be freed from murder.
