  • A thrilling mystery set in a senior residence, full of secrets, rivalries, and unexpected twists.
  • Keeps you guessing until the very end!

A peaceful retirement? Not quite! As soon as the residents move into the brand-new Beninga Senior Residence, a body is found in the pond. With an accident ruled out, the Wittmund police must find out who wanted the successful entrepreneur Erich Beninga’s young wife dead. Her much older husband had a motive. Rumor has it she had an affair. But she also made many enemies, including local policeman Rudi Bakker, postman Henner, and teacher Rosa. Adding to the complications, Rudi’s ex-wife Denise is involved. The trio begins their own investigation, uncovering plenty of conflicts in the senior residence. It does not take long to find a second body.
