Walgericht: Black Forest Crime - 2021 - 6/10
AKA - Ein Schwarzwaldkrimi Waldgericht
Countryside thriller starts well, with a corpse buried head first in an orchard, an inverted scarecrow.
Runes are found, scratched on exteriors, and a cloaked figure is glimpsed silhouetted against the horizon.
Another death, equally queer. This has the makings of good folk horror.
Until rational police come to the fore, dissipating the web of mystery.
Two part series feels like mismatched twins sutured together.
Not bad if procedurals are your thing, though I would have preferred the superstitious route.
