Investigation ongoing for Chancellor Merkel on a cruiseship

On September 2nd, RTL will air a new episode of the popular crime-comedy series "Miss Merkel". This 90-minute long episode, titled "Miss Merkel - A Cruise Ship Crime", is a departure from the usual weekly broadcasts and will also be available in advance on the RTL+ streaming service.

The new episode is set on a luxurious cruise ship, with Katharina Thalbach reprising her role as the titular character, Miss Merkel. The victim in this episode is Florian Watzek, a character dubbed "the megastar of German thrillers", played by Stephan Luca.

The episode is based on a novel by David Safier titled "Miss Merkel: Murder at Sea". While Safier is known for writing humorous speculative novels, specific details about his connection to the "Miss Merkel" series are not readily available. However, it is clear that his works often contain satire and humor.

Intriguingly, the author of this episode is a nod to Sebastian Fitzek, a well-known German author. Other successful crime authors are among the main suspects in the new episode, adding an extra layer of mystery to the plot.

The "Miss Merkel" series is a fictionalised portrayal of former Chancellor Angela Merkel. The previous films in the series, "Miss Merkel: Murder in the Castle" and "Miss Merkel: Murder on the Graveyard", are still available on RTL+ for those who wish to catch up.

For those interested in exploring more of David Safier's works, further research would be necessary as the current search results do not provide a comprehensive list of his titles directly related to the "Miss Merkel" series. Nonetheless, this new episode promises to be an exciting addition to the series, combining crime, comedy, and a touch of mystery. Don't miss it on September 2nd!

This 90-minute episode of "Miss Merkel", titled "Miss Merkel - A Cruise Ship Crime", will air on RLT's main channel on September 2nd, and will also be available on the RTL+ streaming service prior to the airing. In addition to being a thrilling crime story, it's based on a novel by David Safier, a writer known for his satirical and humorous works.
