A delightful read, Isabel Bogdans novel "Aachener Zeitung" takes readers on a captivating journey through a dilapidated castle in the Scottish Highlands. Adding a touch of eccentricity, the story introduces a mischievous peacock gone rogue, a group of bankers on a team-building trip, an overwhelmed psychologist, a housekeeper with a broken arm, and an ingenious cook. As Lord and Lady McIntosh strive to keep the castle afloat amidst a flurry of unexpected events, including an array of animals, the plot twists and turns, leaving readers guessing until the very end. With its light-hearted and fun atmosphere, the book is perfect for curling up by the fire with a glass of whisky. Interestingly, Annie Rutherfords translation makes it difficult to believe that the novel was originally written in German.

Kari Dickson, the translator of Karin Fossum, praises "Aachener Zeitung" as a charming and slightly madcap novel. She describes it as a delightful read that will appeal to fans of lighthearted and entertaining stories. Much Ado Books has acquired the rights to publish the book in the United Kingdom, marking its arrival in the English-speaking market.
