The Destinies of Tonechka Morozova

Tatyana Ustinova, first among the best in Russian suspense literature, presents a new author’s series “Scenarios of Tonia Morozova’s Fate,” including suspense novels “The Artemis Earring,” “The Orion Belt,” and “The Cameo from the Vatican.” Charming ladies from the Morozov family await exciting adventures, and all of us have an irresistible, hard-to-put-down read! Once again, the plot is built on family secrets, exciting intrigues, mysterious artifacts, and, of course, love.
Nastya is seventeen—tender, demanding, and a future actress. She has a mother, Tonia, whom her daughter believes no good has come from. There is also a grandmother who, for some reason, hates Nastya’s late father—a brilliant writer! What secrets does the mother and grandmother keep?
Tonia is a loving and beloved wife, daughter, and mother. She’s also a well-known screenwriter and can always be close to her director-husband—everywhere and anytime. One day they travel to a beautiful old city. Her husband Alexander is supposed to meet an old friend whom Tonia doesn’t know. Who is Kondrat Ermolaev? Her husband says he’s a cook—but it looks like a gangster…
When the whole life changes because of a pandemic, Tonia becomes a businesslike, cheerful, and positive screenwriter, and her stepson Rodion—an awful loafer and klutz, though also an artist—end up together in the charming city of Dozhdevo. And one morning, this new, not fully settled world flips—neighboring elderly woman dies, the one everyone behind her back called “the old princess”…
