MISS MERKEL: Murder in the Cemetery (Vol. II)

The amusing manhunt with Miss Merkel continues

It’s not always the gardener who is the murderer, sometimes he is the dead body. Pensioner Angela quickly realises this when her pug discovers the body of the gardener in the graveyard in the village of Klein-Freudenstadt in the Uckermark. The body is upside down in the earth with only the legs poking out. The murder suspects are all members of two warring undertaker families. There is a dubious manager, a grim bookkeeper, a sensitive celebrant, a Satanist as well as a cultivated stonemason. Angela shares her love of Shakespeare with the latter elderly gentleman, who also happens to look like a former French movie star. Will Angela fall for this man’s rugged charm? And what does her husband Achim say to it all? The second case for the master detective Miss Merkel poses tricky problems – including personal ones – for the former chancellor.
