Neues vom Bestsellerautor Kai Magnus Sting ("Tod unter Gurken" und "Tod unter Lametta"). Haben Sie heute schon an Mord gedacht? Ein Ehepaar macht genau das. Und mordet sich durchs Alphabet. Und so entsteht es, Mord für Mord: das ultimative akustische Nachschlagewerk, wenn es ums stilvolle Abmurksen, Meucheln und Um-die-Ecke-bringen geht. Ein unverzichtbares, mörderisch komisches Hörerlebnis. Von A wie Ameisenhaufen über K wie Katzenstreu bis Z wie Zuckerbäckerei.
