Cinderella's Dilemma

The writer and journalist Elena has always been fascinated by her aunt Ida— a true Petersburg grand lady! No less than Aunt Ida’s old friend Marfa Zaretskaya, in the past an actress. It was she who invited Lena and her close friend Irka to the theater for a benefit performance by the famous artist Barabasov. But the anniversary ended in a completely unexpected way! During the event, there was an emergency: the old actor tripped, fell into the orchestra pit, and died. The incident was written off as an accident, but Lena and Irka suspected it might have been murder. That means they need to conduct their own investigation. And the immediate involvement will come from perceptive ladies whose language won’t turn to call them “old ladies.”

Former TV journalist, now writer Lena, and her ever-spirited friend Irka are the heroines of many of Elena Logunova’s ironic detective stories. In her new thrilling novel “Cinderella’s Dilemma,” they take up their case again! These energetic women can’t live without criminal adventures and always rush to defend justice. And they’re helped by relatives—brave old ladies who investigate crimes in the style of the famous Miss Marple!
