Sensibilität für die Toten, Intuition für die Lebenden und Aufmerksamkeit für verdächtige Fakten: Anna Fischer ist wieder Lisa Taubenbaum, die die Ermittlungen in einem nur anscheinend eindeutigen Autounfall vorwärtstreibt. Zwei Leichen werden dem Bestattungsunternehmen Taubenbaum diesmal anvertraut, bei deren Tod Lisa Widersprüche feststellt. Das Drehbuch zu "Die Bestatterin - Zweieinhalb Tote" schrieben Matthias Kiefersauer und Alexander Liegl. In der Regie von Fabian Möhrke sind an der Seite von Anna Fischer wieder Artus Maria Matthiesen und Frederik Bott als Vater und Sohn Taubenbaum zu sehen und Christoph Letkowski als Kriminalkommissar und On-off-Beziehung Thomas Zellinger. Auf der Fahrt zu einem Junggesellenabschied verunglücken zwei junge Männer aus Hepperlingen in ihrem Auto tödlich und stürzen in einen Fluss. Ihre Leichen werden geborgen und Bestatterin Lisa Taubenbaum anvertraut. Die beiden hatten gemeinsam mit Mario, dem Eigentümer des Wagens, Junggesellenabschied gefeiert. Aber wo ist Mario? Von ihm fehlt jede Spur. Marios Ehefrau weiß nicht, ob sie hoffen oder bangen soll. Lisa, die in der Schulzeit mit Mario liiert war, ist überzeugt, dass er noch lebt. Sie gerät in Clinch mit dem ermittelnden Kommissar Thomas Zellinger, den sie hartnäckig auf Ungereimtheiten aufmerksam macht. Als Mario nach einigen Tagen quicklebendig in Hepperlingen auftaucht, vermutet Zellinger, dass er den Tod seiner beiden Freunde vorsätzlich verursacht hat, und präsentiert ein Motiv, von dem Lisa nicht überzeugt ist. Sie nimmt ihre alte Liebe bei sich auf und erregt damit den Unmut von Zellinger. Mario schweigt beharrlich. Obwohl er alle außer Lisa gegen sich hat, möchte er keinesfalls preisgeben, was in der Nacht des Unfalls wirklich geschehen ist.

Der Tod der 36-jährigen Dorothea Blum wirkt wie ein Selbstmord: Ein Sprung in den Abgrund nach einer letzten SMS-Nachricht an ihre Schwester und mit einem Grund, den viele Hepperlinger als Motiv nachvollziehen können. Aber als die tote Dorothea Blum vor Lisa Taubenbaum liegt, hat die Bestatterin Zweifel. Die sich noch verstärken, weil ein kauziger Unbekannter namens Tassilo Hoferichter unbedingt die Leiche besichtigen will - und kurz darauf ermordet wird. Lisa beginnt zu "ermitteln", mal gemeinsam mit dem Stuttgarter Kommissar Thomas Zellinger, mal entschieden gegen seinen Willen. Immerhin sieht Zellinger ein, dass es sich um zwei Morde handelt, die vermutlich zusammenhängen. Als sich herausstellt, dass Dorotheas Bilderbuchfamilienleben doch nicht ganz so ungetrübt war, wie es erschien, erweitert sich der Fokus der Ermittlungen und der Kreis der Verdächtigen. Ungeachtet ihrer persönlichen Reibereien decken Lisa und Thomas einen mörderischen Plan auf, der jegliches Maß verlor und weiteren Menschen gefährlich werden könnte.

Business is not going particularly well at Taubenbaum burials in Hepperlingen. That is why Lisa Taubenbaum is working more often as a physiotherapist again, her brother Hannes is more likely to do shop counters than coffins and father Alfons is busy working on the council. The corpse of a young woman at a bus stop brings work, but since nobody knows who it is, an unprofitable burial at state expense is to be expected. That's why Alfons has absolutely nothing against Lisa trying to clarify the identity of the stranger. This dead woman does not leave his daughter in peace; a cardiac arrest at that age gives her pause. Lisa's persistent research does indeed reveal a number of inconsistencies, but village policeman Andi has only limited interest in them. But Lisa knows the Stuttgart inspector Thomas Zellinger, whom she would like to see again anyway. There is also enough for him to do professionally. Because the car key of the dead leads Lisa to an accident car in the forest - and in the trunk to the body of old Dürr. Now the local council is also involved, because Dürr owned a hard-fought property that plays a major role in the already controversial Hepperlinger expansion plans. While the dispute in the municipal council continues to escalate, the parties are trying to win the votes of the council members and Alfons is wrestling with his conscience, Lisa starts the dangerous task of clearing up the connection between the death of old Dürr and the young woman.

It has been 25 years since they graduated from high school or could have done it if they had not graduated beforehand, had done laps of honor or simply failed. Now they see each other again at the class reunion, the former top of the class, the former genius, the ex-class brat, the ex-class ass, meanwhile in their mid-40s, and suddenly face the people with whom they dreamed their future life back then . But what has actually happened in reality now? With others, but also with yourself? Annette Frier, Charly Hübner, Anja Kling, Jeanette Hain, Nina Kunzendorf, Fabian Hinrichs, Oliver Wnuk, Elena Uhlig, Kida Khodr Ramadan, Anna Schudt, Christian Kahrmann, Marek Harloff, Aurel Manthei, Nadja Zwanziger, Nicole Kersten, Guido Renner, Björn Jung: That is the impressive list of actors and actresses who came to play with 17 former classmates without a text or a well-written story.
