Miss Merkel: Murder in therapy

Miss Merkel without Nana Spier? Unthinkable! Her versatile interpretive talent and her sense of humor and timing shine through in this series. The fourth volume of the bestselling crime series featuring the investigating former Chancellor Angela is rather gloomy. While writing her autobiography, she realizes that during her time in office, she has solved some of the country's problems in less than optimal ways. Whether it's digitalization, the energy transition, or the federal railway, all have given rise to complaints. After Angela snaps at Friedrich Merz, her husband Achim suggests a visit to a psychologist. However, since there is also a shortage of skilled workers in Angela's quaint hometown of Klein-Freudenstadt, she can only secure a spot in a group therapy session with Dr. Felix Fenstermacher. Unfortunately, the therapist is blown up on his houseboat right after the first session. This surprisingly lifts Angela's spirits; she can finally investigate again. The group members are suspicious: an angry citizen, a cat lady, a virus phobic, a climate activist, and a man who has literally lost his voice. However, the initial suspicion falls on Angela herself, as the therapist died right after their first session together.
