|title=Baksheesh (Kati Hirschel Murder Mysteries)
|rating=4.5
|genre=Crime
|summary= Kati Hirschel, daughter of German parents, still runs the only crime fiction bookshop in Istanbul and, when good's measured against bad, seems to be having a rough time. Good that she's about to buy her first apartment. However, looking at the bad, she's just split up with her boyfriend (albeit after a very good dinner), is strangled in a car park (though not to death… which is good) and is about to be arrested for her strangler's murder occurring, as it did, while she was eating strawberry ice cream. The only way she can exonerate herself is to emulate her fictional heroes once again and do some sleuthing.
