Ivan Ivanovich Lyubenko is a modern detective writer who combines work as a lawyer with literary creativity. The plots of his works are complicated, but very plausible—and they keep the reader’s interest until the end of the book.

Listen to the audio drama “Murder at Vasiliev’s Eve,” created based on the author’s story of the same name. The hero of the audio drama is familiar to fans of the author’s work—Klim Ardashev, a barrister with exceptional intelligence who is able to uncover even the most complex crimes. Readers have come to love him so much that the author has already written many novels, novellas, and stories featuring him, and the TV channel TVC produced a television series based on them.

The action takes place in Stavropol on the eve of New Year, on Vasiliev’s Eve. Before the holiday, Ardashev and his wife go visiting, where someone uses a mysterious note to warn of a planned murder. And it indeed happens. The murderer tried to cover his tracks by presenting the victim’s death as caused by a scorpion that had crawled out of a jar. Perhaps that would have misled someone else, but not Ardashev. He is sure it was not an accident, but a crime—and that the killer is one of the guests. The barrister intends to solve this case. Details are in the audio drama.
