If a man doesn’t remember you, borrow a large sum of money from him and don’t give it back on time. And you probably won’t sleep peacefully either if someone disappears with your precious jewelry. Ivan Podushkin found that out when Irene—his neighbor and the best friend’s mother—came to his office. She asked him to find a “murder flower.” Podushkin thought the lady was joking, but no—it turned out to be very serious. Irene told him about the tragedy of her friend Inna Volkova. Once, on her daughter-in-law Katya’s birthday, a fortuneteller Gorgona appeared, gave her a potted flower, and said that if it withered, Katya would die. She could be saved only by Gorgona. The flower withered, and the daughter-in-law vanished together with Inna’s valuables. Now the neighbor asks to find Gorgona, Katya, and—by the way—the jewelry. The truth revealed during the investigation shocked even Ivan: nothing like it would ever occur to a man—what a woman figures out in an instant, if she’s offended her beloved husband… “Don’tova is an incredible workhorse! I don’t know any other writer who works as much. I treat her with respect, like a model of writerly diligence. Women need psychological support and get it from Donzova. I, too, once read several of Donzova’s novels. They’re read by very different people: very busy business ladies to temporarily switch off their minds, and housewives who have a 15–20 minute break between drop-off/pick-up of the kids.” –
