Murder at the Golden Anchor
by Birgit C. Wolgarten · 1 book
Stralsund, 1888. Behind the respectable doors of the Golden Anchor, secrets simmer alongside the soup pots.
When a cook is found dead in a most unusual way, Police Inspector Emil Hagen is called to investigate. What begins as a curious murder soon uncovers hidden affairs, old resentments, stolen recipes, blackmail—and more than one person with a reason to want the victim dead.
With a sharp eye for human nature, a dry sense of humor, and an unfortunate tendency to think about his next meal, Inspector Hagen must separate gossip from truth before the killer slips away.
A witty historical mystery filled with secrets, suspects, and a murder served with a distinctly German flavor.
