It was recently criticized a lot, now with Amore and the mafia boss back: the 42nd “Crime scene” from Münster convinces thanks to the triangular relationship around Boerne and an unexpected twist.
It’s not a premiere. For the anniversary year of the crime scene in Münster, “A friend, a good friend” was already coming to the Preußenstadion, home of the Preußen Münster football team, in the summer. How fitting, as Preußen Münster has only played in the regional league for a few seasons. Recently, “Tatort” from Münster has also fallen out of favor with critics. No matter, fans love it: tickets for the premiere reportedly sold out in minutes this summer. But is loyalty rewarded?
“Crime Scene” Plot
For Boerne, the “crime scene” begins with an ending: his childhood friend Friedhelm Fabian and his wife – also Boerne’s childhood sweetheart – want to emigrate. As they are celebrating their farewell, a few kilometers away, mafia boss Nino Agostini threatens his lawyer. He failed in court and now one of Agostini’s protégés is going to prison. The next morning the lawyer is dead How gladly would Thiel Agostini take him for the murder! But he maneuvers his way out of any investigation in untouchable mob boss style. Boerne maneuvered completely differently: Friedhelm Fabian was kidnapped, which Boerne did not try to hide from Thiel very confidently. And of course everything is connected: Fabian is also a lawyer and knows the dead man.
The 42nd case of the investigative duo from Münster proves that they can do it. Many suspects keep the suspense high. Even logic suffers in the solution, once again made by Thiel’s gut feeling, only to a manageable degree. On the other hand, the pain in Boerne is great: Jan Josef Liefers plays him extremely vulnerable – and prevents the episode from becoming silly. Incidentally, Preußen Münster is currently the leader in its class. How convenient.
