When Mrs. Huber investigates, no stone is left unturned
Glaubenthal, an out-of-the-way idyll straight out of a postcard. Gentle hills, dense forests, upstanding residents, and plenty of fresh air of course. But Hannelore Huber knows better; after all, she lives on the edge of this town and some things here really stink to high heaven – the dead bodies in various basements in particular.
One of these corpses is at the heart of Thomas Raab’s new crime novel: that of Walter Huber, Hannelore's husband, who died under extremely mysterious circumstances. But why look into it? All that really matters is that he’s dead. While Mr. & Mrs. Huber may have spent their entire lives together, for the most part they actually lived deliberately past each other. So old lady Huber is looking forward to her well-earned retirement now – too soon, as it turns out. At Walter’s funeral, in front of the assembled mourners, his coffin falls into the grave and pops open to reveal the wrong body. Which of course begs the question not only of who is responsible for this death and what else is lying around in the graves of Glaubenthal, but above all: Where is Walter?
With magnificent black humor, Thomas Raab writes about how grumpy Mrs. Huber sets off in search of her missing husband in the heart of the shady world of Glaubenthal.
