Amy Achterop “The Houseboat Detective Agency – Deadly Material”
There is something new for fans of feel-good crime novels: Amy Achterop is presenting her third volume, “The Houseboat Detective Agency – Tödlicher Stoff”, which will be in stores from the end of March.
After “Tödlicher Genuss” and “Tödlicher Grund”, the crime thriller promises good entertainment again.
For everyone who wants to travel to Amsterdam to search for criminal clues.
Are you perhaps planning a trip to Amsterdam?
Then you shouldn't miss Europe's largest public library.
Are you looking for more cozy crimes?
Then you should take a look at Richard Osman's books.
There are more exciting feel-good thrillers here.
On a foggy spring morning in Amsterdam, Arie, owner of the houseboat detective agency, witnesses a well-respected entrepreneur being run over.
The accident victim's daughter is convinced that this death was not an accident and commissions the houseboat detective agency to take on the case.
And Arie, Maddie, Jack, Jan and Elin actually come across a lot of inconsistencies: What connection is there between the dead man and Kaatje Hommel, an old lady who supplements her pension by selling knitted hats?

Eva Almstädt “Baltic Sea Eclipse”
From the end of March, Eva Almstädt will be going to the Baltic Sea again.
“Ostseefinsternis” is now the 19th volume of the “Pia Korittki” series and a contender for the bestseller list.
In the current crime thriller, Commissioner Pia Korittki originally planned to enjoy a quiet weekend with Felix and Marten in his newly purchased house on the Baltic Sea.
But their investigations unexpectedly lead them into a deadly swamp of contempt, untruths and old rivalries.
The blind Helmgard Böttcher rules her large family on the Baltic Sea with the firm hand of an old patriarch.
When her niece is attacked on the way home, revenge doesn't take long to arrive: a young man from the neighboring town suffers severe poisoning and dies.
Of all things, a plant that also grows in Helmgard's garden was the cause.

The current volume “Black Days” is the darkest hour in a long time for the investigating officers.
Be careful, risk of addiction.
Chief Inspector Zorn doesn't want to wake up.
Never again.
When he sleeps, everything is fine.
Once awake, he must face the cold truth.
The most important person in his life is dead, run over in front of his eyes.
His colleague Schröder is also struggling with the situation.
But Schröder knows that he cannot rest until he has answers.
With Zorn's help or without.
Who is the death driver and therefore responsible for this senseless death?
When a brutal murder occurs a short time later, Zorn and Schröder become suspicious.
And you end up being targeted by the wrong people.
