Borowski and the Stars is a crime scene crime thriller by Angelina Maccarone from 2009. It is the 741st episode and the 13th case of the Kiel investigator Klaus Borowski .
action
Rock star Bodo Dietrich, of whom both Klaus Borowski and police psychologist Frieda Jung are big fans, has been on a comeback tour for a few weeks. One day Margret Saloschnik is behind his stage: She was once his great love before she left him for the guitarist of the band Henning "Hendrix" Krause. Both meet in their hotel room 606, where they lived together years ago. When Bodo appears at the appointed time, the door to the room is open, but Margret is not there. It turns out that room 606 was not occupied at all. Shortly afterwards, hotel kitchen assistant Tim Krabbert finds Margaret's body at the foot of the hotel. This is all the more tragic because Margret's daughter Janis works as the hotel's receptionist and Tim's girlfriend. Her father, Margaret's husband Eberhard, runs a laundry that also cleans hotel laundry.
For Borowski it seems to be suicide at first, as there is a dedication for Bodo on the glass of the door to the hotel roof. It soon becomes clear, however, that Margret was never on the hotel roof, but was pushed from the balcony of her room. Under her nails is the plaster of the room, proof that there was a fight before the fall. The message on the disk probably comes from the perpetrator, who is right-handed - Bodo is thus eliminated as the perpetrator, since he is left-handed. New findings from the search of the hotel room raise more questions: A lashing strap like the one used for packing laundry and a small bottle with knockout drops are found under Margaret's bed . Borowski initially suspects that Margret should be immobilized with it, but Margret's fingerprints are mainly found on both things. It turns out that Tim got the knockout drops for Margret, who supposedly wanted to use them to fight her depression.
A new lead emerges from the questioning of Margaret's husband Eberhard. He has terminal cancer and actually wanted to go on one last big cruise with his wife. However, the money had disappeared and Eberhard doesn't know where to go. Borowski learns that Janis' father is neither Eberhard nor Bodo, but ex-guitarist Henning. He has now opened a wellness studio and the police can determine that the money for it was transferred by Margret. Frieda smuggles incognito into the hotel for further investigations. Since Borowski also turns up here again and again for investigations, the two get closer and finally sleep together. Still, they try to hide their relationship from their colleagues.
The questioning of Bodo, which is delayed again and again due to being a star, brings Margret's visit backstage to light. Bodo's manager says that after the visit, Margret disappeared in a delivery truck with an advertising address, which can ultimately be identified as a truck from the Saloschnik laundry. In a warehouse in Henning's wellness studio, Borowski finds a bag with Henning's things that he has examined. Henning's fingerprints can be found on the steering wheel of the laundry trolley, so that he is the ominous driver of the car. Borowski surprised Henning a little later when he wanted to extort 300,000 euros from Bodo: Bodo had thrown him out of the band because of his affair with Margret, before the band had their musical breakthrough. Henning now also confesses that he wanted to kidnap Bodo and Margret together and thus extort a ransom - a plan that neither of them implemented, as Henning waited in vain for Margret in the car in the hotel's underground car park.
Eberhard visits Henning's wellness studio and locks Henning in the sauna. He forces Henning to admit that he was in the hotel room with Margret when she changed her mind about the kidnapping plan and wanted to refuse Bodo. During the dispute over the cell phone, Margret fled to the balcony and then fell down there in the crowd. Eberhard turns the temperature of the sauna to the highest level and leaves Henning behind. Meanwhile, Borowski learns that Henning's trousers from the bag contain the same fibers as in the hotel room and also features of the balcony. He goes to the wellness studio and finds Henning passed out in the sauna. He arrests him. Janis now apologizes to Bodo, whom she saw as her mother's murderer, and he promises to be there for her always.

Reviews
"The happiness in Kiel is more wonderful than rock 'n' roll, and those who are happy in Kiel stand at the window in the evening twilight and hum old songs with a smile."
“Was it the rock star? The guitarist from the old band who took his wife away from him? Was it your own daughter? Or her boyfriend? You don't really care. The trappings in this "crime scene" with Hugo Egon Balder make the music ... "
