Miss Merkel is on the case!

The #1 Germany cosy crime bestseller which features the crime-busting retirement adventures of the former German Vice Chancellor, Angela Merkel, for fans of Richard Osman.

After a gruelling stint as the most powerful woman in the world, Angela can finally put her feet up. With her husband Achim and their new pug Putin, she has retired to the idyllic village of Kleinfreudenstadt-on-Dumpfsee. But it isn't easy to settle into country life. Angela's fellow villagers all seem to want something from her. And baking and hiking just aren't as exciting as international financial meltdowns, refugee waves or deranged American presidents.

So when local aristo Baron von Baugenwitz is found poisoned and dressed in armour in a castle dungeon locked from the inside, new life stirs in Angela. Finally, a problem that needs solving! Supported by her husband, her bodyguard - and of course Putin - she embarks on a dangerous hunt for the killer. Will she find him? Or will one of the six women suspects finish her off first? Questions only a great detective can answer...

Miss Merkel is on the case ...

PRAISE FOR MISS MERKEL

'The Miss Merkel books have been massively successful in their native country... [This is] an amiable, witty entry in the genre colonised in the UK by Richard Osman; more satirical than the latter, but equally peppy and diverting. More Miss Merkel will be welcome.' Financial Times

'Delightful... If you love Richard Osman's books, this will be right up your street' Trip Fiction

'Immensely enjoyable... about as close as it gets to the perfect New European novel.' New European

'Such a warm, charming, good-natured read - a well-plotted mystery shot through with wry humour. Wait until you meet Angela's dog, let alone her husband!' Natasha Poliszczuk

'Miss Merkel combines the charm of Inspector Columbo with the sharpness of Miss Marple' Sigener Zeitung
