Bang-Bang, Beautiful Marquise!

The best way to find a husband is to get involved in some investigation—preferably with young witnesses, a wise investigator, and a wealthy suspect who turns out to be innocent. An important detail: in this criminal story, all the candidates for husbands must be unmarried. Of course, it’s not very good to risk your own grandmother, who might be killed by mistake while you’re looking for your betrothed. But here there’s hope for quick police work and damp cartridges in criminals’ pistols. And if—along with the husband—you also manage to find buried treasure, as happened with Vasilisa, then there’s only one road straight from the investigator’s office—to the wedding!
