The hardest job in the world is to look like a beauty 24 hours a day. But that’s not a reason to steal! Tatiana Petrova came to her husband Lampа Romanova’s detective office. The woman works in a boutique that offers wealthy clients slimming underwear and other “tricks” so they can look a hundred percent (not years)—and one of their clients stole the most expensive item worth 300 thousand. Tatiana asks to find the thief. But before Petrova even left the building, she suddenly felt unwell and died shortly afterward. And then it turned out that the dead woman wasn’t named the way she had introduced herself…
The detectives decide to find out who this woman really was and what was going on in her establishment. It turns out the lingerie shop is part of a larger beauty complex that also includes a restaurant and a beauty salon. And just the other day, after procedures in that salon, three clients died rapidly. Isn’t that too many deaths for a place where people come for beauty? The longer Lampa and her colleagues try to understand what’s happening, the more lies they uncover. Investigators are simply drowning in a sea of stupid lies. They simply haven’t had such a hopeless case in a long time…
Дарья Донцова — the most popular and in-demand author in our country, a favorite of millions of readers. In Russia, more than 200 million copies of her books have been sold. Her work fills hearts and souls with light, optimism, joy, and confidence in tomorrow!
“Donцова is an incredible workhorse! I don’t know of any other writer who works as much. I respect her as an example of writers’ diligence. Women need psychological support, and they receive it from Donцова. I myself, at one time, read several of Donцова’s novels. Very different people read her. And very busy business ladies, so for a while they can switch off their minds, and housewives who have a 15–20 minute break between drop-off/pick-up of the kids.” — Galina Yuzefovich, literary critic
