A suspenseful whodunit where every secret unravels the truth
When legendary businessman and former Soviet wrestling champion Otto Müller is shot dead on his 65th birthday, his family members become the prime suspects. With eight different accounts of the night and each relative harbouring a potential motive, the question of who killed Otto is just the beginning. Detectives Agnes and Gabriel, who have just become partners, are thrust into their first high-profile case together, but their investigation quickly tests their own relationship. As they delve deeper into Otto’s complex family dynamics, long-buried secrets come to light, and personal boundaries begin to blur. Each episode focuses on a different family member, from Otto’s youngest son, a once-promising musician, to his ambitious mistress and distant wife. With every new revelation, the detectives’ grasp on the truth weakens, as their personal stakes in the case grow higher.
Who Shot Otto Müller? is a tense, character-driven mystery that explores the deadly consequences of family secrets, betrayal, and revenge, all while testing the limits of loyalty and justice.
