When a neurotic statistics geek gets invited to his twenty-five-year high school reunion, he spends his life savings remaking his identity to wow his old classmates.

Erneut stürzen sich die beiden mit Leib und Seele in ein neues Abenteuer und lassen sich weder von motorradfahrenden Biker-Omis noch von paragrafentreuen Bauamtsinspektoren von ihrem Ziel abbringen. Morsche Terrassen, irre Handwerker und tierische Untermieter sorgen auf dem Weg ins eigene Traumhaus ebenso für Überraschungen wie unfreiwillige Volksfestbesuche und Kletterpartien auf regennassen Dächern.

But when a friend is accused of murdering her employer, everything changes.

Weihnachten und unter dem Tannenbaum liegen... nein, ich sage es besser nicht. So schlimm ist es auch gar nicht. Aber klar, so habe ich es mir definitiv niemals vorgestellt: in einem fremden Haus und mit eigentlich mit fremden Leuten, wovon sogar ein paar Zombies sind. Klingt wie aus einem richtig schrägen Film. Zusätzlich wird mein ganzes Weltbild auf den Kopf gestellt. Zombies sind wirklich nicht gleich Zombies. Nicht einmal die, von denen ich es dachte.
