Mermaids Murder Better / Meerjungfrauen morden besser
The K&K-Sisters Investigate

Three strangers demolish Konny and Kriemhild’s bed & breakfast and demand that the sisters hand over the millions that the Commodore, Kriemhild’s deceased husband, owes them. Did the Commodore really unearth a treasure illegally, scam his crew, sell the treasure and stash away the money in a secret place?


On their search for the truth, Konny and Kriemhild set out on a road trip to the far North – accompanied by the Commodore in a dustbuster and Amenhotep, the hairless cat, in a pet carrier. Along the ride, the women have to face ruthless rockers, hardcore stoners, dealers of stolen goods and a woman who claims to have been the Commodore’s mistress. A roller coaster ride of emotions for the sisters and a great delight for readers.

Tatjana Kruse grew up in a female-only household. What’s more, this household also included a small-town hotel run by her mother. It was only a matter of time until Tatjana Kruse would incorporate this experience into her literary work. By now she has made writing crime fiction her profession and has been awarded the Marlowe Literary Prize of the Raymond Chandler Society, the Fancy Media Prize as well as the Nordfälle Prize for her crime novels. Following the success of her old-timer detectives, the K&K sisters, Kruse now presents a new setup of dark humour.

Summer, sun, and the island of Sylt – but this idyllic setting is deceptive. Suddenly, two worlds collide: young climate activists who are wiling to do anything to get their message across and the glitterati on their luxurious holidays. When, one by one, the first environmental sinners start to die, it’s clear that the blame will land on the group “Last Days”. There’s only two people who aren’t...

Tatjana KruseYear of Publication: 2021
All around Germany, corpses are turning up that are not just dead but have been shrink-wrapped in plastic, given a new hairstyle or sent as parcels in individual parts. All of this is reminiscent of the perfidious murders of notorious serial killers who have never been caught, but who are now old and could hardly have struck again. When drugs come into play on top of it all and a gang war looms,...
