Boredom Dies Last – A Retirement Home Mystery (vol. I)
Do not resuscitate – a cosy retirement home mystery
Life in the retirement home is boring. Helmut could have predicted this, but his wife Margot has decided that in her old age, what she needs more than anything is three regular meals, a laundry service, and a gym. She listens patiently to his objections that a prison would offer the same luxuries, but her mind is made up. And now, just like that, Helmut’s life revolves around sharing beers with Gerhard, trying to contact various dead pets in séances, and helping Hannelore organise her funeral.
That is, until the girl from the kitchen, Selma, is found dead with a meat fork up her nose. Some life has finally and paradoxically been breathed into the house by this crime – and Helmut couldn’t be happier.
- Darkly funny – and a little bit mean, in the best sense!
