- 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.

He suspects that the case might be related to a series of burglaries in the neighbourhood. Kriminalkommissar Nagel starts being suspicious about Schmidt when he learns that the latter has an affair with his former employee, Anni Klein. Single mother Klein has to submit to lengthy questioning by the police, but denies any knowledge about the crime. And Schmidt's alibi seems iron-clad, seeing that he was in a pub surrounded by people who knew him. Meanwhile, the burglary series is solved, the perpetrators denying vigourously any connection to the murder. Because nothing had been stolen from the bakery, Nagel is bent to believe them. Little does he know that the lover of Schmidt's neighbour, Ms. Scherzer, could throw light on the case, because he has seen Wilhelm Fink leaving the house that evening - but, being a politician and married on top, he fears for his reputation. Finally the police receives an anonymous tip about Fink, and he admits to having had an affair with Mrs. Schmidt. As was his wont, he had awaited her husbands departure on that evening and then entered the house with his own key - only to find her dead. This information finally shatters Schmidt's alibi, and he admits to the murder.
