24 Weihnachtskatastrophen mit dem Kult-Kommissar - ungekürzter Hörbuchgenuss mit Volker Klüpfel und Michael Kobr. Weihnachten bei den Kluftingers, das sind Erikas selbstgebackene Plätzchen, Kluftingers alljährlicher Kampf mit dem Christbaum und vor allem viele liebgewonnene Traditionen. Die werden allerdings gründlich durcheinandergewirbelt, als sich spontan Besuch aus Japan ankündigt und Erika obendrein zwei Tage vor Heiligabend von der Leiter fällt. Kommissar Kluftinger ist also bei den Festvorbereitungen auf sich allein gestellt.

Ein Mord in Kommissar Kluftingers beschaulichem Allgäuer Heimatort Altusried: Der Lebensmittelchemiker des örtlichen Milchwerks ist stranguliert worden.

Franz Eberhofer ermittelt in seinem ersten Fall und entlarvt die heile Welt der Dorfgemeinschaft als trügerisch.

Frauenpower am Tegernsee. Ein frischer Wind weht durch die Polizeiinspektion Miesbach – oder wohl eher eine steife Brise: Wallners neue Chefin Franka Tiedemann ist nicht nur 10 Jahre jünger als der Kommissar und mit einem Sinn für beißende Ironie gesegnet; sie scheint auch mindestens so sehr an ihrer Karriere interessiert wie an Gerechtigkeit.

But every second counts, and there’s one thing Jenna Wade doesn’t have: very much time.

My fiancé brought me tea and scrambled eggs in bed that morning, and we snuggled together, talking about buying our rings, and about our perfect wedding next year. Then we headed into town. He held my hand and gazed at the ring I liked best, a smile spreading slowly over his face. Then a glass of bubbly to celebrate. I felt flushed, excited and ready for the rest of my life with the man I loved. We race to get on the train home. It screams to a halt and I run towards its open doors. Made it. I think he’s right behind me — but when I turn around, he’s gone.
