A Dead Man in Woodruff Liqueur: Romy Fuchs' First Case. A fresh start in the Bavarian Forest! That's what Romy Fuchs dreams of when she returns to her home village of Schweinhütt after a failed marriage and years as a journalist in Munich. Here, she wants to find peace, work as a ceramic artist, and enjoy life surrounded by nature and family. But the idyllic peace doesn't last long. A murder rocks the village: In the luxurious retirement home Gut Luisenau, the attractive master distiller Mike Walters is found dead—apparently drowned in woodruff liqueur. Romy was the last person to see him alive. Suddenly, everything is turned upside down. And to her surprise, her ex-husband Ben, who was transferred to the Bavarian Forest as punishment, takes over the investigation. But Romy's curiosity is piqued, and she investigates on her own. Behind the friendly facade of the Gut Luisenau estate, there's more than meets the eye, and Romy and Ben find themselves drawn deeper and deeper into a web of lies and jealousies. Everyone seems to be hiding something, and the closer Romy gets to the truth, the more secrets come to light. The start of a new Bavarian crime series – humorous, heartwarming, and suspenseful to the very last page. A crime novel that proves: behind Bavarian coziness lurks many a crime. In the Bavarian Forest, things aren't just rustic, they're also murderous.
