Everyone Is Suspected

Joanna Chmielewska is the true “queen” of the ironic detective: this genre became popular in Russia precisely thanks to her and influenced an entire generation of modern writers. Readers loved her books for their humor, ease, and the uplifting atmosphere they bring: with Joanna and her characters you want to be friends. However, her smart and nuanced novels are far above mere “comic literature.” They are full of love and interest in life, zest and curiosity—and they consistently lift your mood even on the cloudiest day. “Everyone is Suspected” is a closed-room detective whose action takes place within the walls of an architectural office where Ms. Joanna works. One of her colleagues is murdered, and the police suspect all the employees. Unfortunately, not long before this incident, Joanna had come up with a plot for a detective story in which the victim is precisely the person who is killed in real life—meaning she is the main suspect. And this, of course, isn’t where the mysterious events end… This light and wildly funny detective will delight you not only with an intriguing puzzle, but also with vivid, lively depictions of office intrigue and the everyday life of architects. Listen to the classics of the ironic detective—only on Storytel.
