New release! A warm, ironic detective story by the talented Russian writer Alexandra Mironova!
Agatha Pepper is successful, striking, and audacious. And… unexpectedly, completely free.
The sale of a network of prestigious gymnasiums was supposed to open the door to a new, bright chapter in her life. But instead of trips, dates, and an easy life, Agatha gets “as a bonus” a bald cross-eyed dog, a luxurious cottage, a closed-off community… and total disorder.
Even the very first day turns into a string of troubles:
– flirting with the security guard, as if he’d stepped down from heaven;
– a run-in with the village’s main gossip;
– meeting a strict veterinarian who leaves her breathless;
– and a sudden mission—to protect her neighbor from a domestic tyrant.
But Agatha isn’t the kind to back down.
She sets out to restore order not only in her own life, but also in other people’s stories.
While the bald “aristocrat” Baron Boberon von Tall tries to survive under her care, Agatha learns how to live all over again: how to make friends, choose herself, love, and accept love.
A witty story about freedom, mature happiness, and a woman who knows how to steer fate in the right direction—even when everything around her collapses with a deafening crash.
